ABOUT LEXI B.
Work is never about the work.
It’s about the people doing the work.
If you understand the people, even the hardest problems can get solved — and solved well.
Hi — I’m Lexi B, a storyteller, leadership strategist, and unapologetic freedom advocate.
My mission is to help people find their voice, lead with authenticity, and build workplaces that actually work for humans.
For 14+years, I’ve built a career inside some of the world’s most influential companies — including NetApp, Airbnb, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft — leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that tackle some of the hardest problems in tech and culture.
With a foundation in engineering and technical program management, I’ve worked side-by-side with engineers, product leaders, and executives to translate big, complex ideas into solutions that scale. I specialize in aligning cross-functional teams — policy, legal, trust & safety, and engineering — to deliver work that balances innovation, responsibility, and impact.
Through this work, I’ve learned that the most important ingredient in solving complex problems isn’t the process — it’s the people. The real work happens in relationships. I build strong, authentic connections with stakeholders, knowing that trust built outside the meeting room determines what gets solved inside it. The more you treat your coworkers like humans, the faster — and better — the work becomes.
Across every chapter of my career, one belief has guided me: leadership isn’t about hierarchy. It’s about how we show up for one another — in meetings, at the table, and yes, even at lunch.
That truth inspired Lunching Up & Down™, my signature masterclass series teaching leaders how to communicate across levels, dismantle hierarchy, and create trust through authentic connection.
Today, I partner with companies, communities and people around the world to redefine what modern leadership looks like — grounded in humanity, powered by story, and sustained by connection.
Because when we change how we communicate, we change how we lead. And when we change how we lead, we change everything.
