Hi, I’m Alexa Hassink (she/her).

I bring 15+ years of strategic communications leadership with a specialization in gender, equity, and human rights. I’ve led initiatives for nonprofits, foundations, and UN agencies across 55 countries.

Whether you're scaling up, navigating complexity, or just need an extra steady, strategic hand, I can bring intention, clarity, and confidence to your communications.

You can work with me as a strategic comms advisor, a fractional chief communications officer, or to lead a communications or brand strategy project from start to finish.

My work has included:

• Facilitating human-centered design workshops across the US, Lebanon, Rwanda & Indonesia to align teams on strategy and messaging

• Fueling growth — from a 20% year-over-year audience increase at an international nonprofit, to a 20% revenue jump at a B Corp, or a 4x applicant increase for a gender-focused training

• Renaming a national summit to better align US nonprofits and philanthropies around a shared purpose: building collective power.

• Leading international campaigns that have shaped national policy, earned top-tier coverage (NYT, Teen Vogue), and led to a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title

• Building, leading, and managing communications teams as well as a best-practice networking group for social impact communicators

• Sharing insights on global stages including Sustainable Brands, Women Deliver, and the UN Commission on the Status of Women

Before founding Alexa Hassink Strategies, I served as Director of Partnerships & Strategic Communications at a purpose-driven creative agency in New York, and as Director of Marketing & Communications at an international nonprofit in Washington, DC, focused on gender equality and healthy masculinity.

I served as a Health Educator with the Peace Corps in Morocco, and hold a BA in Communications & Psychology from the University of Delaware.
