For Alex, building meaningful relationships is just as important as building great projects. Having grown up alongside the Kingham families in Nacogdoches, Texas, joining KDW during its expansion into Central Texas in 2023 felt less like starting a new job and more like coming home. With a deep-rooted connection to the company’s mission and people, Alex brings both strategic insight and a heart for service to her dual role as Legal Counsel and Director of Business Development.

In her day-to-day, Alex leads KDW’s business development efforts — shaping the company’s growth strategy while cultivating strong, lasting partnerships with clients, future clients, and community partners. A thoughtful listener and creative problem-solver, she’s passionate about connecting people, solving challenges, and helping others grow.

Alex graduated with honors from the University of Texas with a B.S. in Communication Studies, and later earned her J.D. from SMU’s Dedman School of Law, also with honors. While at SMU, she served as Vice President of the Student Bar Association and citation editor for the International Law Review Association. Prior to joining KDW, she practiced commercial real estate law at two of Austin’s leading firms — Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody and Armbrust & Brown — where she built a strong foundation in negotiation, development, and deal structuring.

Professionally, Alex is a member of RECA, the Association of Professional Women in Construction (APWC) – Central Texas, NAIOP’s Austin Chapter, and a member of the Global Investment Committee for Opportunity Austin, where she finds inspiration and camaraderie among other driven, purpose-led professionals. Outside of work, she dedicates her time to causes that reflect her values. She teaches Sunday School at Covenant Presbyterian Church, serves on the Dell Children’s Trust Executive Committee, and is a former member of the Elizabeth Ann Seton Board which supports Ascension Seton Hospital’s NICU.

At the heart of it all, Alex is grounded by faith, family, and the joy of everyday moments. She lives in Austin with her husband, Will, their three daughters, and their two beloved dogs. Whether in the boardroom, the community, or at home, Alexandra leads with empathy, integrity, and the belief that the most lasting legacies are built through people.  While not in the office, Alex can be found walking the trail at Lady Bird Lake or exploring the beautiful greenbelts with her family and pups, with an ideal day spent near any of Central Texas’ bodies of water and ending with live music at one of Austin’s classic venues (and of course at Darryl K. Royal Stadium in the Fall cheering proudly for the Texas Longhorns!).
