My name is Alex Keenan and I am delighted to be part of this year's 100 minds initiative. I am currently working towards a Masters degree in Management Consultancy in the Smurfit School of Business having just graduated from UCD with a BComm International with a minor in French.

I am a keen problem solver and have always been keen to develop skills that allow me to face business challenges in a pragmatic and strategic manner. In undertaking this charity initiative, I hope to leverage these skills and provide some pro bono consulting work in exchange for donations towards my 100 minds profile. I am eager to provide value to small businesses while adding to my consulting experience which already includes project work for Hytech Logistics and Deloitte.

While this consulting work will represent the core of my fundraising efforts, I am looking to smaller innovative ways to raise money for Childline. This February I was able to run a successful Last Man Standing competition that raised €198.

Thank you for reading my profile and I would hugely appreciate any donation, big or small!

Alex
