Bio

Alexandra is co-founder and CEO of ARCHANGELS. She co-founded Eliza Corporation (acquired by HMS Holdings Corp: HMSY), Engage with Grace, and three other companies (all boot-strapped). Her belief that communities are the front line of health has evolved into an obsession with any ‘last mile’ and builds on her fierce beliefs that caregivers are our country’s greatest asset and that we need to expand the definition of health to include life. Alexandra takes an active role with the non-profits she feels are doing their best to change the world, including two she co-founded. She sits on the Board of Advisors for RAND Health, the Leadership Council for the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving, the Entrepreneurs Council for The United States of Care, and Harvard Medical School’s Executive Council of the Division of Sleep Medicine. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC), a member of the Board of Advisors at EndWell, and has served as a vice chair of the Trustee Advisory Board at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center from 2012-2020 and returned to the role in 2021. She also serves on the Board of Advisors for Open Notes, the Board of Advisors for MassChallenge HealthTech, and the Board of Advisor’s for Boston Children Hospital’s IDHA (Innovation and Digital Health Accelerator). She served for 7 years as a Governor appointed member of the Executive Committee for the Board of Directors for MassTech, until March 2022. Alex was named to the first ever Care100 list in 2020, a Top Women in Healthcare’s Entrepreneur of the Year by PR News, one of Disruptive Women in Health Care’s Women to Watch, one of Boston Globe’s Top 100 Women Leaders, and listed in Boston Business Journal’s “40 Under 40”. She is also an inventor on multiple patents. Alex’s background in the healthcare industry made her the ideal candidate to join Prudential Financial as a Wellness Expert to explore the unique and modern challenges (and opportunities) facing Americans in a film series called “The State of US” which was turned into a national ad campaign with over 2 billion impressions. She has one hobby outside of her passion for revolutionizing health care, and her love of family and adventure…car racing.
