Alexander Horré’s Summary

For most of my life I've been in academics, seeking out creative problems to once seemingly mundane scenarios. In regard to academia, my talent of grasping a creative eye-point to any project has brought me much personal reward.

I’ve educated myself in information technology, business administration, and now e-business and information systems. For each degree (Associates, Bachelors, Masters respectively) I targeted an effective piece of the rising social web to holistically understand its technological infrastructure, economics and commerce, and lastly the adverse adaptations and behaviors required by businesses and consumers alike.

Experience wise, I bring a tenacious academic record spanning information technology (understanding the inherent mechanisms of digital media), business administration (accounting, financing, marketing and business development policies), and e-business and information systems (how business and consumers adapt to a proliferating social web economy and digital marketplace, as well as information and knowledge management via database design).

My biggest attribute are my interpersonal skills in leading a team through a project or presentation; in which I diligently increase proficiency through team motivation and spark the creative eye in everyone using affinity diagramming, a favorite idea-creation technique.
