Alex Hsiao
Chief Design Officer, Founder

With a passion for inspiring teams and shaping the future of digital experiences, I thrive on building and scaling high-performing design organizations that drive real business impact. I partner with forward-thinking companies to create innovative, user-centric solutions that elevate brands and deliver measurable growth.

My journey began at AOL (America Online) during the height of the dot-com boom, where I led pioneering product design efforts that touched 34 million subscribers and helped shape the early internet landscape. Embracing entrepreneurship, I went on to found a life-stage startup and an international trade company, gaining hands-on experience in building businesses from the ground up.

Over the years, I’ve advised companies as a fractional Chief Design Officer and consultant, guiding organizations through pivotal growth stages and helping them scale, differentiate, and achieve successful exits. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with industry leaders such as Netflix, Verizon, Marriott International, PwC, IAC, delivering impactful digital experiences across a range of sectors.

Most recently, I led global product design at CNN, spearheading user experience across mobile, web, video, and emerging platforms for one of the world’s most recognized news brands with an international reach of more than 347 million households worldwide. Now, I’m channeling my diverse expertise to combine executive vision with hands-on design leadership to help companies and brands unlock their full digital potential.

If you’re ready to transform your product experiences and create something remarkable, let’s connect and make your next big idea a reality together.

Warmly,

Alex
