Alex Bukvich

Alex Bukvich stepped into the role as the Director of Operations in Fall of 2019, after years of experience at Innovative Weather. In his role, he manages the daily forecast services, product development/tech support, oversees the training and professional development of interns and senior staff, recruits/maintains partner relationships, and helps to manage the sustainability of the program. While earning his BS in Atmospheric Sciences at UWM, he joined the IW team as a student intern in Spring of 2016, becoming a Meteorologist by fall of that year. After graduation in winter 2017, he began his servant leadership with IW as the Assistant Director of Programming, which after two years led to the opportunity to step in as the Interim Director of Operations. Innovative Weather has been one of the shining experiences from his education, and he finds joy in the ability to give back and help lead the program, while adding value to the community and training the next generation of meteorologists. His time at UWM also saw him heavily involved with the UWM Atmospheric Science Club, as well as UWM Panther Rugby. When not watching the weather, you can find Alex around a rugby pitch or catching up on the latest Formula 1 race.
