Alex Campbell is the Director of Engineering Solutions at AnyWay, with a history that traces back to the early 2000s in South Africa. As one of the original employees, he was instrumental in the company’s early development. His career began with a degree in Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, followed by a transition to environmental geochemistry at the University of Cape Town. He eventually undertook grad work in engineering at the University of Waterloo which completed the professional tools he needed to thrive within the transport infrastructure industry with a multidisciplinary background that includes chemistry, geochemistry, and engineering. This diverse foundation has enabled him to tackle challenges from various perspectives.

Starting at AnyWay when the team was still small, Alex was able to engage in multiple aspects of the company. Over the years, his role has evolved, and he has become a crucial member of the consulting services team. “I have seen AnyWay grow and am excited to see where it will end up,” he says.

Throughout his long career at AnyWay, Alex cherishes memories from his early trips to Israel. More recently, he takes pride in his work in Papua New Guinea, where he and his team have improved roads and rehabilitated critical infrastructure for local communities. “To have the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives is pretty cool,” he adds.

Travel is a theme that extends into Alex’s personal life as well. He loves experiencing different sceneries, cultures, and cuisines. An avid golfer with a handicap of 4, he also enjoys spending his summers at his off-grid island cottage in Canada.

Looking ahead, Alex is excited to continue advancing AnyWay’s solutions, incorporating consulting engineering services and new technologies like AI to help clients achieve their goals more efficiently while contributing to AnyWay’s growth and success.
