SIX Spotlight: Alexandra Besso

"Be Human" is one of our core values here at SIX.

In an effort to display this, we are pulling back the curtain to show you the humans behind SIX... because they're kind of our favorite people!

The first member of Team SIX we’d like to introduce you to is Alexandra Besso--

What is a day in your life at SIX like? Does it vary? If yes, how so?

"I have a legal education, and I don't come from a marketing background, so learning the marketing vernacular takes time!"

Why is this a challenge and what do you do to overcome it? 

"SIX provides services to clients across a wide range of industries. It's challenging to keep up with the marketing nuances that vary between each industry that affect the way I support each client....but that's also what makes this job fun and interesting!"
