The CBIA BizCast team speaks with Alexandra Daum as she looks to use her business background in her new role as DECD commissioner.

“I know what it feels like to be on the other side of the table so to speak,” she said.

“I know what it’s like to be a small business owner and the ups and downs and certainly have experienced those ups and downs myself.”

She said her main priorities are to get the word out that Connecticut is a good place to do business and strengthen our cities.
