About Alexandra Matthiesen

I love my work. It’s a feeling fueled by an affinity for detail and insatiable interest in emerging technologies. This verve is reflected across my career supporting marketing initiatives for notable industry players, including Intellectual Ventures, Microsoft, and Veritas Technologies, among others.I’ve a practiced approach to developing product and solutions marketing programs and the multichannel promotional and sales enablement initiatives required to see them come to life—with a proven ability to take companies and offerings from concept to launch, with close alignment to business objectives and relentless attention to data.From the implementation of product-led growth tactics to influencing in-market presence through strategic channel alliances and partnerships, I’ve established expertise in identifying and taking on marketplace opportunities that go beyond the basic. In addition to my professional post, I maintain board positions with CyberUp and Hepatitis Education Project. I’ve got strong feels for creating psychologically safe workplaces—leading with care and respect to shape functional, performant teams. I believe everyone has a right to a voice in our tech-driven future.Grounded literally and metaphorically in the heart of Seattle, Washington.
