Alexander is a leading expert on the changing economics dictating Hollywood, with a special focus on best customer acquisition and retention practices to create sustainable, scalable, and successful direct-to-consumer products. She has worked with clients in her role at Parrot Analytics on identifying and investing in whitespace content opportunities, acquisitions of production companies, and determining viable theatrical models in a post-COVID world.
