Leading Businesses, Leading Leaders

For the last thirty years, Alexia has enjoyed a very successful career as an international business lawyer, including over ten years acting as Chief Legal Officer (General Counsel) for a financial services company with over $25bn in managed assets, leading their global in-house law department of more than fifty team members located around the world and comprising lawyers, paralegals and IT professionals. During her tenure as GC, she transformed her team into a modern powerhouse of business aligned professionals, driving operational excellence and high levels of efficiency and productivity.

​

An entrepreneur, she launched and led a local nonprofit organization for four years and remains a key member of the Board of Directors today.  She also successfully launched her own consulting company, Maas Leadership, which has been enjoying steady incremental growth since its inception in 2021.

 

Alexia is an accomplished strategist and thought leader among peers.  She is renowned for her strong focus on execution and high impact, creative problem solving.

 

Despite her previous hectic schedule, Alexia mastered how to recapture her own time and value and redefined her whole work/life balance.  She then introduced her methods to her team with equal success.  All of these things paved the way for her becoming an industry leading author and inspired her to put her wisdom and experience on paper and start writing her pivotal book: Stealing Back™ TIME. 

 

In her book, Alexia shares her strategies with a much wider audience.  She tells the story of her journey as she hurtled towards overwhelm and burnout, her tipping point, what she learned from others, and how she combined several best practices into her own way of thinking and working that has now helped her and many others achieve more by doing less.

 

Alexia is a poised, inspirational public speaker delivering insights via keynotes and panel participation around the world on topics including business strategy, alignment, and leadership as well as helping other leaders learn how they, too, can beat the hidden thieves of time and recalibrate their work/life balance. 

A fun fact, surprising to many in the business world, she started out as a professional ballet dancer! The literal blood, sweat and tears of the ballet world taught her many valuable lessons and life skills that she has leveraged throughout her professional career, including self-motivation, teamwork, discipline, grit and grace.  

 

Alexia has lived in the UK, Norway, Sweden and is now based in North Carolina, USA.  She enjoys the simple pleasures in life, loves taking leisurely walks with her dog and still dances ballet.
