Bio
Dr. Brock Friesen
Alexandra reported to me for over 5 years. Her work was always meticulous and well thought out. She is a very competent leader who does not shy away from tackling complex issues with tact. Her financial skills were instrumental in delivering significant shareholder value. She was a very skilled negotiator in several aircraft purchases and sales, as well as in our successful merger. Our auditors praised her every year.
Ruby Williams
Extremely capable and incredibly hard working come to mind when I think about Alexandra. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alexandra on a multi-million M&A project with her leading the due diligence aspects of the transaction for her organization. Above all, I was impressed with Alexandra’s ability to stay on top of all critical issues and priorities. She successfully helped lead the transaction to close. Her pragmatic approach would be a true asset for any positions requiring an unassuming leader who can command the trust and respect of a team and who is not afraid to roll up her sleeves when required to get the job done.
