Background

About Alexander Gray

Alexander Gray has more than a decade of experience in communications, operations, and advocacy in the fields of legal services, non-profits, and technology. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and strategic planning, he designs and refines processes that make organizations run smarter, faster, and more equitably. In his current role at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, he manages digital workflows and systems for in‑house legal clinics, oversees pro‑bono initiatives, develops process documentation, and drives continuous improvement. Previously, as program manager for Pitt Law’s Center for Civil Rights and Racial Justice, he organized public programs and community events, managed grant‑funded outreach activities, and crafted communications that amplified the Center’s mission—applying the same technology‑forward approach to event logistics and program delivery. Alexander is also a committed civic leader. As Advocacy Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Western PA Chapter, he revitalized the chapter’s Advocacy Committee, grew fundraising for Out of the Darkness Walks, and collaborates with policymakers to expand mental‑health resources. He brings similar dedication to the City of Pittsburgh’s LGBTQIA+ Commission, where he crafts public statements and advises city departments on inclusive policies and data practices. Earlier in his career, Alexander honed his technical and operational skills in both the public and private sectors: he supported elections administration for Allegheny County, provided livestreaming and product‑training support to major media clients at Twitter, assessed news credibility at Meta, and led bilingual legal services teams handling Japanese‑to‑English translation and e‑discovery for high‑profile litigation on behalf of Fortune‑global clients. His journey began in publishing and campus leadership at Macalester College, giving him a strong foundation in communication and intercultural engagement. Alexander’s track record demonstrates a consistent ability to improve processes, harness technology for social good, and lead cross‑functional teams toward equitable outcomes. Outside of work he is passionate about literature, poetry, print culture, film history, and community history—interests that inform his inclusive worldview and fuel his commitment to preserving stories and voices from diverse backgrounds. He is always open to connecting with others who share an interest in digital innovation, public policy, and community wellbeing.
