Mariana Alexander Kravtsova brings more than two decades of leadership, advocacy, negotiation, and conflict-resolution experience to Maison Alexander Consulting, a boutique practice built around thoughtful strategy, discreet guidance, and practical resolution.
Her approach is highly personal and deliberately measured. Every matter begins with understanding the people, interests, and circumstances behind the dispute—not simply the disagreement itself. From there, Mariana helps clients clarify their position, prepare for difficult conversations, and identify practical paths toward resolution.
Her experience includes extensive HOA board leadership, where she has navigated sensitive community matters, competing interests, and significant vendor negotiations. Among them was a large-scale roofing initiative involving 165 homes, where she helped negotiate project pricing and secure a 15-year workmanship warranty for homeowners.
Mariana holds a Master of Public Administration (MPA) and a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies, complementing her practical experience with a strong foundation in public administration, organizational dynamics, policy, and cross-cultural communication.
