She co-founded a major retail disruptor–the flash-sale website Gilt in 2007. She then moved on to launch Glamsquad, which—with the tap of an app—sends hair and make-up professionals to your home.  But Alexandra loves a challenge and, in early 2018, she made a major pivot—from being her own boss, to working at Allergan, the mega-successful pharmaceutical company which makes Botox, among other products.
