I'm Alex, a leadership development business partner with 13+ years of experience building high-performing teams at Amazon and Facebook. Currently leading organizational development for Amazon's SPS EMEA division (5,900+ employees), I specialize in helping leaders and teams succeed in complex, fast-paced environments.

Having lived and worked across Europe (and speaking Romanian, English, French, and Spanish), I bring unique insights to creating leadership solutions that work across cultures.
My background combines a Master's in Lifelong Learning (UCL) with hands-on experience building successful teams. I believe in mixing data-driven insights with practical application - no fluff, just what works.
What makes me particularly effective:
Strategic Impact
• Track record of delivering high performance across multiple cultures and markets
• Experience in shaping and developing leadership teams
• Proven ability to drive measurable talent outcomes
Comprehensive Approach

My Style: direct and practical, focused on results. No corporate speak, no intellectual fast-food. I combine proven approaches with real-world experience, backed by data and a deep understanding of how people and teams actually work.
When I'm not helping teams and leaders level up, you'll find me strength training, walking countryside trails with my husband Danny and our Belgian Malinois, River, or diving into neuroscience and social sciences research.
