Alex is the CM Group’s thought leader for patient engagement. A marketer by trade for close to three decades and someone with firsthand patient-advocacy experience, Alex is uniquely equipped to tackle the complexities of patient-centric communications programs at the agency. Under her leadership, the Px Group was established in 2017 as a division of the CM Group focused exclusively on patient engagement.
With her team, she identifies thoughtful ways for life sciences companies to connect on an authentic level with patients and caregivers. Her strategic collaborations have resulted in a variety of powerful programming—from patients engaging with each other to employees connecting with the patient experience. Each engagement is driven by a mission to amplify the patient and caregiver perspective, and in doing so, provide a platform for compassion, empathy, education, and innovation.
Alex’s dedication to important causes carries over into her personal life; she sits on the board of trustees for CARES Foundation, a national organization dedicated to Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), a rare, genetic disorder that affects her youngest son. A roll-up-her-sleeves type, she was also the driving force behind adding essential rescue medicine for patients with adrenal insufficiency to the formulary for ambulances across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
