"We have worked with Alexandra on a couple of occasions to organize and run PR activities for IndyCar in France. The victory tour for Simon Pagenaud on the occasion of his Indy 500 win in 2019 stands out in particular. A full week of events, which included the unveiling of the BorgWarner trophy, two full days of media interviews and numerous live shows in various parts of France, were organized perfectly and with outstanding results. Alexandra has an extensive knowledge of the French media market and the contacts to go with. She manages the most stressful situations with a smile and her professionalism and attention to detail make her a perfect partner for us.  I can recommend Alexandra to anyone who is looking for positive results from their PR activities in France."

"Alexandra has an extensive 360-degree understanding of how the media works in every area, together with the rare and intuitive ability to get on with everyone. That’s undoubtedly down to her multi-cultural and multi-lingual background, which means that she can cover a huge amount of ground in a short space of time on any campaign, thanks also to an impressive network of international contacts. Somehow, she manages to combine all of that with an innate cheerfulness and positivity, which makes her a true pleasure to work with as well as a model of professionalism and efficiency."

"I first met Alex at the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix. She was leading the communication team tasked with setting up the F1 media centre and all related press activities for the event Promoter. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, effectiveness and commitment in managing the most challenging of media markets F1 had encountered to that point. [.... ]
I have nothing but praise for Alex and anyone fortunate enough to have her in their organisation will quickly realise the benefit of working with such an experienced and talented communications professional."
