You can tap the power of AI while holding onto your humanity.

That’s the message of Alexandra’s regular AI features in The Wall Street Journal and The Harvard Business Review—and it’s why audiences find her AI talks hopeful, encouraging and clear-eyed about the risks ahead.

From the big picture of what AI means for your organization to the practical steps that can move you forward today, Alex connects the opportunity of creating a new kind of workplace to the immediate challenge of learning a new way to work. 

Which means she can point your organization to where the value is right now—and help you chart a course for the future. That future can include everything from making breakthroughs in your team’s collaboration practices, to dramatically improving the well-being and satisfaction of every employee. 

A Harvard-trained social scientist, technologist and journalist, Alexandra combines rigorous research with a practical and engaging approach to the latest developments in workplace AI.

She has helped leaders navigate the biggest workplace and technology transitions of the past two decades, from the rise of social media to the shift to hybrid and remote work.

Let Alexandra take you inside the AI transformations she shares with her audiences in The Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review. Connect with her today to help your organization navigate the biggest workplace transition of our lifetimes.
