I’m Alisa Tikhova,
a Senior Tech Leader exploring Human Literacy for the AI Era.
A systems thinker focused on leadership, teams, and decision quality in complex environments.
My focus
I’m a senior tech leader with 15+ years of experience guiding teams, shaping strategy, and navigating complexity in global engineering environments.
My work now centres on a single question: how do leaders and organisations cultivate human literacy — the ability to think clearly, communicate well, and make grounded decisions as technology accelerates?
I explore this through reflection, mentoring conversations, and pattern-level thinking that informs how companies operate at scale.
"When we worked together with Alisa, she showed herself as both a Technical Project Manager and an Engineering Lead. Alisa is able to keep given commitments. She also leads the team with a passion and cares about team members and their self-development growth."
Derek Gibb, Account Manager, DataArt
