STORYTELLER BIO:

Alexandra Drane is a big-hearted champion of caregivers. She's transformed her beliefs into business and charitable efforts as the co-founder and CEO of Rebel Health and ARCHANGELS, and as Wellness Expert for Prudential, as well as the co-founder of five boot-strapped companies, including Eliza Corporation (acquired by HMS Holdings Corp: HMSY) and Engage with Grace. No surprise, Alexandra is also a cashier-on-leave for Walmart because she believes retail is the front line of health. She has one hobby outside of her passion for revolutionizing health care, and her love of family and adventure…car racing.
