Achieve More by Doing Less
enabling high impact results and successful transformations in today's hyperactive world.
Alexia has enjoyed a successful international business career for over 30 years, advising and leading global Fortune 500 companies and major international law firms. She is also an accomplished entrepreneur having founded and led three successful startups: a niche consulting firm, a publishing business, and a regional nonprofit organization.
She served for over a decade as the General Counsel & Chief Legal Officer for Volvo Financial Services, a global financial services organization and regulated bank with over $25billion in managed assets.
As a leader of highly regulated industrial companies and mission driven organizations, Alexia became known for building best-in-class teams, and effectively managing risk in rapidly evolving and uncertain landscapes. She is also renowned for her strong focus on execution with high impact and creative problem solving and her relentless drive for simplification and efficiency.
Today, Alexia is a published author, keynote speaker, board member and leadership consultant to law firms, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Here’s what she has to say about her journey so far:
“We are all doing way too much, overcomplicating things and losing sight of what is truly important. To share my strategies with a wider audience, I have written a series of leadership books on the topic – Stealing Back® TIME, Stealing Back® REST, and Stealing Back® SPEED - and founded Maas Leadership through which I now teach leaders how to achieve more by doing less.”
Alongside her growing consultancy practice, Alexia continues to serve the international legal community as an elected official and member of The Council of the Law Society of Scotland representing the international bench and as an active member of the Law Society’s International Committee liaising with domestic and foreign legislators and professional bodies to promote the rule of law and the interests of the Scottish legal profession. She also accepts and rotates 2-3 active Board Member engagements per year with corporate and nonprofit organizations.
Alexia is a dual-qualified attorney and remains actively licensed in the UK (Scotland) and US (New York). She graduated from the University of Strathclyde in joint first place overall and has since completed further post-graduate programs with Harvard Law School and MIT including, most recently, completing MIT’s AI Strategy & Leadership program during which her case study work on AI-augmented leadership and scalable business models won two Exemplary Achievement Awards.
Before she became a lawyer, Alexia was a professional ballet dancer and, today in her spare time - which she has mastered how to protect - she is an ambassador for the growing adult ballet community and continues to train, perform and compete for fun.
