Alexa Starks

Hi, I’m Alexa Starks—leadership strategist, speaker, and founder of Executive Moms.

I spent a decade building strategic systems inside fast-growing companies. Now I help organizations build the systems they should’ve had all along—to support and elevate working moms (and parents!) instead of losing them.

I’ve trained high-performing teams, worked alongside C-level execs, and led mission-critical ops across orgs. But my greatest leadership role is being a mom. (So cliche, but so true!)

I combine lived experience (mama of 2 kids under 2) with strategic insight to help companies keep their top talent—and rewrite what leadership actually looks like.
