RESUME

KALEIDOSCOPE

FOUNDER

LOS ANGELES — PRESENT

Turning Ideas Into Businesses 🌀 Positioning, operationalizing, and scaling pre-launch and early-stage technology companies.

I bring a unique mix of experience from celebrated advertising agencies to innovative data science startups. I have a proven track record of marking up founders from $0 to over $125MM in fundraising. Combined with the executional know-how and network to produce the most technical and creative concepts, I’ve become a hidden ace for early-stage tech founders, helping them turn their ideas into businesses.

New York — October ‘18 - Present

Prescient, formerly Vybn, is a decision science platform that unifies and enriches marketing, eCommerce, and industry-specific data in order to provide recommendations that grow revenue streams.

After securing an exclusive partnership with Warner Music, Prescient is now focused on a variety of brands, accelerating LTV in a cookieless world.

"Successfully navigating the inception, funding, and product execution in the complex AI space requires tactical strategies and understanding of value creation. Alex played an instrumental role in our ability to establish a vision, raise $2m+ in pre-seed venture capital and $4.5m seed, and position our technology for product market fit. Her organization and versatility across brand, operations, and product strategy is second-to-none." — Michael True, Founder/CEO
