Alexa Samaniego
Ph.D. Student in Business Administration, admitted Autumn 2022
Grad OCT, Hume CenterBioAlexa is a second-year PhD student in Organizational Behavior (Micro) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Alexa's research is inspired by her background in theatre and the performing arts. She considers how speakers and audiences experience repeated performances (e.g., entrepreneurs giving the same pitch, or trainers giving the same seminar), and why certain speakers come across as more authentic than others. Her research informs the work she does as a presentation coach in the Stanford Oral Communication program and TEDxStanford.
Prior to beginning her PhD, Alexa worked as a research associate at Achievers Workforce Institute and Columbia Business School. She received her BS in Business Psychology from UC San Diego, and her MS in Applied Psychology from San Diego State University. -

BioI am a first-year MBA student at Stanford. Previously, I was a Growth Equity Associate intern at the Italian Investment Fund ("Fondo Italiano d'Investimento"), focusing on tech investments. Before that, I advised for three years major multi-national clients as a Management Consultant at McKinsey & Company in Milan with a focus on TMT Strategy & Corporate Finance. Before McKinsey, I worked as a Private Equity Analyst at Gain.pro, a B2B SaaS Fintech start-up with a deal origination platform for the Private Equity industry in London.
I started my career in 2011 as a YouTuber with a channel on consumer technology, mainly about Apple products, reaching 50k subscribers and 10 million views by producing 220 videos. In 2019, I founded Mentors4u High Schools to coach and mentor students on their career choices, reaching 3k students through webinars and 100k through online content.
