Alexandra H. Email and Phone Number

Alexandra H. is a Founder of The Local Foreigner LLC at The Local Foreigner. She is proficient in Italian and Persian. Colleagues describe her as "During the summer of her third year at university Alex worked with us and showed great enthusiasm, quickly familiarising herself with the range of markets, asset classes and products we covered. During her time Alex worked on a number of stand alone projects ranging from macroeconomic profiles, historical data analysis to preparation of material for internal strategy meetings, which she would attend daily and invariably follow up on with questions. Intelligence and clarity characterised her work and confidence and affability her personality. Alex would be a welcome addition to any team." and "Alexandra came to work as an intern with us during the course of the summer of 2008 within our Profession Products Demand Planning Team. The requirements were steep and a stretch for someone coming into the team without any prior experience. The outline of what was asked was threefold: 1) To quickly grasp and understand the business from the demand planning perspective, to learn the nuances between divisions, systems, processes and terms used and to create a set of training tools based upon what was learned to train-up both future demand planners and other department staff quickly. 2) To learn SQL programming in order to help us to better mine the enormous quantities of data that were starting to become available. 3) Present and share the above to the whole team and senior management with light to having those tools being used and applied going forwards. Not only was Alexandra a very quick learner in completely new fields of study (namely supply chain and programming), she had a vibrant, energetic and very positive attitude to the challenge. She was resourceful in using a multitude of sources to obtain what she needed and was self disciplined in managing the tasks given.. She took directions clearly while also providing solution orientated thoughts to many of the minor problems along the way. Her final presentation was endorsed as an overall success and many of the things that she worked on in her time are still being used today. Without a doubt I would recommend Alexandra as a valuable asset to any organization interested in employing her."
