Hi, I’m Alexandra Russo!

Most often called Alex. I’ve been in marketing for 7+ years, marketing leadership for 6 years, and strategic communications for 12 years.

After working in corporate positions for nearly all those years, a series of extremely happy opportunities happened all at once, leading me to begin working for myself as a Fractional CMO and Marketing Consultant – and now I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I’m not working, I’m with my puppy (see below), playing tennis and Padel, skiing when I can, and ideally planning a trip. I adore reading (and rereading), attempting to write, and spending time with my friends and family.

A Virginia Tech grad with a major in Communication that I use all day every day, I lived in France, Baltimore, and DC before boomeranging back to my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA a handful of years ago.

Sheltie puppy, staunchly anti-work, big barking fan, master walker and professional sock thief. Loves people, scared of other pups, and has yet to appreciate all these Zoom calls.
