Alexandria is a marketing leader in the hospitality industry with a passion for bringing concepts to life through compelling brand storytelling, marketing strategy, and programming that resonate with target audiences. With an MBA in Food and Wine from the University of Bologna in Italy, she has a deep understanding of both the practical and the creative sides of the hospitality industry.

Alexandria started her career over 15 years ago at Food Network, creating brand extensions including a line of wine, national food festivals, and restaurants at airports and sports stadiums across the country. Since then, she’s worked both in-house and for agencies, representing iconic brands such as Caviar and Google, along with celebrity chefs, independent restaurants, hotel groups, and food and beverage products, on everything from go-to-market launch strategies to naming and brand design to ongoing marketing and PR efforts. Alexandria’s experience working with hospitality interior design teams has taken her across the U.S. to conduct market studies and concept strategy reports for hotel and real estate teams.

Alexandria is returning to af&co after a two year hiatus, where she leveraged her hospitality background to lead the marketing, programming, and operations teams for the launch of the first-ever Google Visitor Experience in Mountain View, CA.

Alexandria is energized by traveling and experiencing restaurants wherever she goes, finding inspiration in local art and live music.
