Alexis Alexander

Liberis

In just over two years, Alexis Alexander has transformed the in-house legal function of high-growth fintech business Liberis from a newly created support role to a highly important participant and core part of strategic decision making. The process was significantly quickened by the global coronavirus crisis in 2020, when Alexander was propelled to the forefront of all business decisions in response to the pandemic – from furloughing, launching new products and reviewing contracts to adopting new ways of servicing customers and doing deals.

During the first national lockdown, Alexander pulled out all the stops to ensure Liberis’ successful application to be one of the first accredited providers for the Government-backed Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the timely launch of the brand new product, which is beyond Liberis’ normal business model.

Amid guiding the business through an unchartered business and regulatory environment in 2020 and the sheer volume of unexpected work it brought about, Alexander did not lose sight of the company’s long-term growth goals. With a lean team of two, she has readied the business to launch in Germany in the new year and assisted the business’s international expansion in the US and Europe. She also recently completed the process to launch Liberis’ first international legal panel, focusing on non-traditional firms with technology-enabled offerings.
