How often do you think about innovation in government services?
In this powerful episode on Doers Defined, we sit down with Alexia Hefti — a Swiss-Canadian lawyer, digital governance pioneer, and global strategist based in the UAE — who is radically reimagining how governments serve people in the 21st century.
From growing up in Hong Kong to advising heads of state across Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, Alexia’s journey is anything but typical.
She co-founded Deloitte Canada’s Blockchain Tax practice, served on the board of a Nasdaq-listed blockchain firm, and now leads eGovern, a bold venture using AI and blockchain to bring speed, transparency, and trust to government services.
As the Special Representative of the Government of Bermuda, Alexia is also building economic bridges and shaping diplomatic alliances in some of the most dynamic regions of the world.
In this episode, Alexia shares the formative experiences that shaped her global outlook, the leadership lessons she’s learned navigating complex political and economic landscapes, and her bold vision for the future of governance in emerging markets.
This isn’t just a conversation about technology — it’s about power, purpose, and the people driving change behind the scenes.
If you're curious about how innovation can unlock opportunity, strengthen diplomacy, and transform the way we govern — this is the episode for you.
