Craig Alexander is a Head of Engineering with 10+ years of experience scaling startups from hands-on development to senior leadership, most recently shaping infrastructure, platform, and developer experience at Tonic and now leading engineering at Lotus Disability. He has a track record of translating product vision into execution—boosting on-time delivery from 27% to 85%, growing teams to 35 engineers, and implementing multi-cloud, compliance, and AI-assisted development strategies. Craig combines deep technical ownership (data movement, de-identification architecture, CI/CD, security automation) with organizational design—building role frameworks, career ladders, and hiring practices that sustain rapid growth. He thrives in early to mid-stage environments where he can architect the foundations for scale, and is especially focused on developer productivity, observability, and reliable enterprise integrations. A pragmatic engineer-manager, he often stays hands-on to drive critical technical decisions while steering cross-functional strategy.
