Foundation

 

Alexandra began her career during the 2009 recession, an experience that shaped her approach to resilience, adaptability, and practical problem-solving.

 

She has worked through global downturns, supply chain disruptions, and rapid technological shifts, including the early rise of social media as a core business growth channel. From the early days of Facebook to the expansion of Instagram as a marketing engine, she has participated firsthand in how businesses evolve alongside technology.

 

Her approach is grounded in real-world experience navigating change while building businesses that last.

​

Today

 

In 2024, Alexandra founded Small Biz OBM to bring high-level operational strategy into small businesses in a way that is both accessible and immediately actionable.

 

Small Biz OBM is an all-in-one solution across operations, finance, marketing, and AI, giving small businesses the strategic support and implementation they need to scale with confidence.

 

Her work is designed for founders who do not just want advice.

They want direction, structure, and momentum.

​

​Her mission is to bring the tools, experience, and growth insights she has gained over the last 16 years into businesses that are ready to grow, not just to increase revenue, but to create meaningful impact for the people behind them. The founders, their families, their teams, and the communities they serve.

​

She believes small businesses should have access to the same level of tools, strategy, and knowledge as larger corporations, without needing a large team or significant investment to get there.
