About Alexandria Barkmeier

I focus on aligning people and strategy so organizations and individuals can thrive in a rapidly changing world. In my current role supporting a 1,200-person business unit, I translate complex challenges into frameworks that scale, enable performance, and strengthen retention. Learning is the lever I use most today, but the scope of my work is broader: building systems rooted in strategy, structure, and performance that keep teams productive without pulling them away from the work that matters.My background in law, consulting, and education gives me a wide lens for solving problems. Whether I’m collaborating on firmwide transformation or building programs from scratch, I focus on translating strategy into practical, human-centered systems that drive efficiency and growth.
