Alexandra 'Alex' Thompson is a seasoned product leader with a passion for building and growing successful SaaS products. After a decade at a large enterprise, she made the leap to a smaller company to have more autonomy and make a meaningful impact. As the Head of Product at a SMB-focused SaaS, Alex oversees a team of product managers and designers, working closely with cross-functional teams to drive growth and innovation. Outside of work, Alex can be found exploring Boston's neighborhoods with her husband and two kids, or trying out a new hiking trail in the nearby White Mountains. She's a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado and loves nothing more than a good cup of coffee on a chilly morning.
