Edward Fidgeon-Kavanagh’s Summary

I am a Dublin native and B.Comm (marketing) graduate of the UCD Quinn school of Business.

During my time in UCD I had the distinct pleasure of representing the Business School at International case study competitions in two consecutive years, in 2007 at the SICC (Ivey school, Ontario) and in 2008 at the GBCC (University of Washington).

I have also had the opportunity to be part of the staff/student consultative forum, and in my final year had the great privilege of teaching 1st year B.Comm students in a subject focussed on practical business skills.

My most recent professional role has been a supply chain analyst position with Ireland's fastest growing pharmaceutical company, Merck Sharp & Dohme Ireland (HH). During this project I was able to develop both qualitative and quantitative skills during an in-depth market analysis. I have also completed an internship with Accenture Ireland.

A keen writer, I regularly contribute to my blog (www.cube1986.blogspot.com) that deals with marketing, information visualisation, the pharmaceutical industry and general business. I have also written articles for the UCD "University Observer" and co-authored a piece for "Irish Director" magazine
