Professional Background
Professional Journey
- Alexandria is the Founder of AskDegree, where she helps technology-driven teams tackle compliance and security not just as checkboxes to tick, but as strategic levers for growth. With a deep well of experience in highly regulated industries, she's navigated both the buttoned-up world of traditional banking and the fast-moving frontier of fintech, insurance, and healthcare.
- Her specialty? Crafting risk-aware strategies that fuel innovation without tripping regulatory alarms. She knows that compliance isn't just about staying out of trouble it's about unlocking opportunities, building trust, and setting the stage for long-term success. Alexandria brings a rare blend of expertise, pragmatism, and a dash of wit to an industry often bogged down by red tape. At AskDegree, she's on a mission to prove that compliance and security can be both powerful and (well, mostly) painless.
