Alessandra Pollina is the founder and owner of Quotable Media Co., a PR agency and media company that celebrated 10 years in business in 2022. She attended Boston University’s College of Communication where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Communications with a focus on public relations, and a minor in anthropology. Throughout her college years she held many internships in the PR field at some of the best agencies in Boston. This vast array of experiences became the foundation of her PR career and positioned her to launch her own company, a full-service boutique PR and marketing agency, in 2012 at just 23 years old.

She is also the founder of the Female Founders of Boston networking group which aims to bring like-minded entrepreneurs and business owners together, as well as Quotable: A Female Entrepreneur Podcast, inspired by the group but with an international reach, and Quotable Magazine, a print and online platform for expanding the visibility of female entrepreneurs. The podcast and magazine make up the media arm of her company, which also works to further boost female entrepreneurs through an annual launch grant and online PR education programs.

Alessandra sits on the board of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Organization for Women (Mass NOW), and was awarded the 40 Under 40 from Boston Business Journal in 2022. She’s based in Boston and is mother to a 10-year-old son.
