Alexandra Beynon
Exited govt: 6/13/25 (verified)
Not much is known about Alexandra Beynon’s work on behalf of DOGE at the Department of Education. Prior to that, she worked as the head of engineering at her husband’s startup company which sold guided ketamine therapy for use in the home. Although she hasn’t been publicly linked to DOGE work at other agencies, Alexandra was one of the recipients cc’ed in an email organizing mass layoffs at the CFPB sent by Gavin Kliger. It’s unclear if she has a similar role in the staffing reducations at the Department of Education.

Interagency Coordination:
Emailing this time from his CFPB account, Jeremy Lewin shares the documentation for the upcoming CFPB RIF with DOGE staff posted at several agencies (Zach Terrell and Alexandra Beynon). He also includes DOGE staff at CFPB: Gavin Kliger, Chris Young and Jordan Wick. It’s unclear if they are representing their individual agencies or are just taking part as DOGE members in the conversation.
