Hedvig Alexander: Chris Alexander

Chris Alexander: Thats partly because she met her husband, Chris Alexander, there, while working with the UN development program in Kabul, and partly because of the sense of possibilities and potential she felt there, according to The Star. Passionate and articulate on issues surrounding economic development, Alexander, a stunning blond who received her graduate degree from Yale in international relations before serving as a UN observer in Georgia and working for the Danish Embassy in Moscow, must have stuck out like a rare orchid amid the drabness and dust of the worlds poorest places and It may sound incongruous, but Danish-born, newly minted entrepreneur Hedvig Alexander remembers Afghanistan as romantic. We were there in the 90s as the Soviets were pulling out, and there was such optimism. I just bumped into Tom Freston, the former head of MTV, who was there at the same time and we talked about how we both still see it as a completely romantic place. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
