Alexa Clay

Alexa is the co-author of the best-selling book The Misfit Economy, which is named one of the best business books by the World Economic Forum, TechRepublic, The Telegraph, and Huffington Post. With degrees from Brown University and Oxford, she is the leading expert on subcultures and innovation from unlikely places. 

Alexa believes the underworld is filled with natural-born innovators, and they have more in common with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs or Exxon than you might think. Today, she is working to create more inclusive innovation ecosystems in cities and regions across the U.S.
