Profile
In Her Own Words

I've spent 11 years building products at the intersection of data, design, and human behavior. I don't measure success by features shipped — I measure it by outcomes moved. At every company I've joined, I've inherited a roadmap and left behind something leaner, faster, and more profitable.

At my core, I'm a builder who cuts what isn't working and doubles down on what is. I've led teams through zero-to-one launches, platform migrations, and pricing model pivots — often simultaneously. The discipline I bring isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things better.

I'm drawn to companies where product isn't just a function — it's a strategy. Where the roadmap is a reflection of conviction, not a backlog of compromises.

Why Alexandra
The Work That Defines Her
01.
Redesigned Onboarding — Cut Time-to-Value from 18 Days to 4
Led discovery through launch for Meridian's new user journey. Identified that 60% of trials abandoned before reaching the core value moment — redesigned the entire flow, lifting 90-day retention by 31%.
02.
Usage-Based Pricing Model — $4.2M Net-New ARR in 6 Months
Partnered with Finance, Sales, and Engineering to launch a usage-based pricing tier that opened Meridian to SMB customers previously priced out. Shipped end-to-end in 14 weeks.

What Others Say

Alexandra is the rarest kind of PM — she makes the whole organization smarter. She came into Meridian with a roadmap that was a mess of competing priorities and no clear north star. Within a quarter, she'd cut it in half and the team was shipping more meaningful work than they ever had.

RK
Ryan Kapur
VP of Product, Meridian Analytics · Direct Manager

I've managed a lot of PMs. Alexandra is one of three I would actively recruit again. My team shipped faster when she was on the other side of the table, not slower. She understands trade-offs at a technical level without overstepping.

ML
Marcus Lee
Director of Engineering, Meridian Analytics

Alex built our integrations program when there was no playbook, no precedent, and no template. She made it up from first principles and it became the thing we led with in every enterprise conversation.
