Her rise to prominence began after a career at Accenture, when she co-founded the domestic services marketplace Hassle.com. Following a period of rapid scaling and brand development, she successfully oversaw the company's acquisition for £24 million. Beyond her private sector success, she has acted as a vital bridge between the technology industry and the UK government, serving as the Treasury's first Entrepreneurship Adviser and contributing to the official taskforce for Women-Led High-Growth Enterprises. A former Entrepreneur of the Year as named by TechCity Insider, Alex has held influential leadership roles including chairing the Coalition for a Digital Economy (Coadec) and helping to establish the sharing economy trade body SEUK. Her work with the Department of Trade and Investment has been instrumental in identifying the next generation of high-potential UK startups.

Known for her direct and approachable style, Alex provides a refreshingly practical perspective on scaling businesses, fostering innovation, and the future of the British tech landscape.
