Jo Lynch – General Manager


I have had the pleasure of working closely with Alex for the past 4 years. Alex is a professional in all that she does, but best of all she is fun and always super positive!
Alex is particularly sharp with high profile media; she produces incredibly high quality written work, often within a short time frame or pressurised situation. She manages all stakeholders with a quiet ease and she gets the job done. Her solid understanding of the ski industry, the athletes, the competitive environment and culture serve her well in the SSNZ role.
Alex is also a sophisticated writer, editor and proof reader. She has a style that is sophisticated and incredibly accurate. Alex will always add a shine and improve your work. On top of all this Alex is handy on all social channels; she has the knack for integrating content across appropriate channels for success.
Alex will be a smart and fun member of your next Communications project!

John-Jo Ritson – Founder


I have had the pleasure of working with Alex many times. She was always prepared, levelheaded and pragmatic while being warm, caring and able to have a laugh along the way. These qualities were perfect for long multi day snow sports events with early cold dark starts, blizzards, closures and grumpy folks as well as world class athletes competing, interviews, social coverage and press releases. Highly recommended!!
