"Alex brings a remarkable amount of empathy, energy and optimism to his work. He cares deeply about his team – he's a stellar collaborative partner and and goes above and beyond to support and guide his reports – and leads with perspective, grace, and kindness. He's a culture add to any team lucky enough to have him as a member!"

"For two years, I had the opportunity to be on the team that Alex was a director of. During that time, Alex was deeply committed to the growth and success of our team, leading with empathy and support. He led the team through major product changes and always kept a positive outlook despite any challenges. He made deep connections with our cross-discipline partners, and consistently fostered a collaborative environment so that we could all reach our goals. I have no doubt that any organization he is a part of will benefit greatly from his skill and dedication."

"I had the opportunity of having Alex as my manager for two years at Sprout Social. During that time, he led a team of product designers working in an integral part of the business. He also partnered closely with product management and engineering leaders to inform roadmaps and business strategy.As a first-time manager, I learned a lot from Alex and truly appreciate his commitment to my growth and development. He genuinely cares about those he supports, and I felt that impact throughout our time together. Alex was always willing to jump on a call to discuss challenges, brainstorm collaboratively, or ask insightful questions that enhanced my work. He is a thoughtful, empathetic, and supportive manager and team member. Anyone would be lucky to get the chance to work with him."

"I learned so much from working with Alex at Sprout Social. He is an empathic, intelligent, wise, communicative, inclusive, and highly collaborative colleague who established many impactful means of partnership during his time with us, while ensuring the work his team delivered was user-centered and reflected business priorities. He also supported a range of individual contributors to grow into their best selves at work, often while they faced many stressful challenges, including deeply entrenched silos. I am hoping we will work together again in the future - I miss working with him already!"

"I was lucky to work with Alex at Sprout Social and while we were on separate teams, we collaborated often across cross-functional projects and larger product design initiatives. He's a wonderful, driven, kind, passionate, and empathetic design leader, focused on growing and supporting his team. He put his utmost care and attention into making sure his directs were growing and supported all while partnering with his peers in product and engineering to lead a business-critical product area."

"Working with Alex Thanasenaris was a very rewarding and fun experience. Every website we collaborated on, he elevated it to the most amazing customer experience ever, since he was Customer Obsessed like no other!"
