AlexAnndra Ontra is changing the way the enterprise world thinks about its most undervalued asset — the presentation. As President and co-founder of Shufflrr, AlexAnndra is blazing a trail in the emerging new discipline of presentation management. The technology she helped create is already powering the presentation strategies of hundreds of Fortune-level companies, helping them save millions of dollars by transforming humble PowerPoint slides into invaluable business assets.
Before co-founding Shufflrr, AlexAnndra made her mark in the world of advertising. After earning her Bachelor of Science degree from UT Austin, she quickly rose through the ranks at international agencies DDB and Lowe & Partners SMS, developing campaigns for blue-chip clients like American Airlines, Priceline.com, and Zales Corp.
Then in 2002, she decided to strike out on her own. Teaming up with her brother James, she launched Ontra Presentations with nothing more than a borrowed desk, two phones, and a lot of hustle. Together they cold-called prospects for eight hours a day, every day. Their persistence paid dividends, and in less than 90 days they’d landed their first big client: ABC Television.
Fast forward 12 years and over 50 Fortune-level clients later, Alex had cemented her position as a thought leader in the presentation space. But her experience had also highlighted the glaring shortcomings of existing presentation software. So, in 2014 she and her brother began an ambitious new project, combining their 30+ years of practical know-how with the latest machine learning and cloud technology. The result? Shufflrr, a powerful, elegant, easy-to-use SaaS solution that’s finally bringing decades-old presentation technology into the 21st century.
