Bio:

Alek­san­dra Alek­sic is based in Palo Alto, Cal­i­for­nia and cur­rent­ly works as a Prod­uct Man­ag­er for SAP HANA, SAP’s flag­ship in-mem­o­ry data­base plat­form. In her role she has focused on the top­ics of secu­ri­ty and data vir­tu­al­iza­tion for over two years. One of the areas she is most pas­sion­ate about cur­rent­ly is the inter­sec­tion between data pri­va­cy and data ana­lyt­ics and how we can lever­age tech­nol­o­gy to get the most out of data with­out com­pro­mis­ing the pri­va­cy of indi­vid­u­als. As a prod­uct man­ag­er, Alek­san­dra works close­ly with cus­tomers to take busi­ness require­ments and mar­ket needs and trans­form them into a com­pelling prod­uct vision and strat­e­gy. Pri­or to her role at SAP, Alek­san­dra held posi­tions at var­i­ous tech­nol­o­gy star­tups in Ger­many and the Unit­ed States where she worked on top­ics rang­ing from mar­ket research to data ana­lyt­ics. She has an under­grad­u­ate degree from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia, San­ta Bar­bara in Busi­ness Eco­nom­ics and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion and a master’s degree from the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Munich where she stud­ied Con­sumer Affairs and focused on tech­nol­o­gy man­age­ment relat­ed topics.
