Edward Fidgeon-Kavanagh’s Summary

I am a design minded Dublin native and the Founder and Managing Director of Clear Presentation Design. I also hold a B.Comm (marketing) from 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. I have also had the opportunity to be part of the staff/student consultative forum, and in my final year act as a teacher for first year students.

Previous professional roles have included Marketing Manager for True North Metrics an IT startup. This was a role which required me to be fully immersed in all aspects of the business from strategy formulation to the production of marketing materials.

Prior to this I was employed as a supply chain analyst with Merck Sharp & Dohme Ireland (HH). During this role I developed both qualitative and quantitative skills throughout the 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) which deals with marketing, information visualisation and general business news. I also write materials on presentation on my company blog (www.clearlypresentable.wordpress.com). In the past I have written articles for the UCD "University Observer" and co-authored a piece for "Irish Director" magazine.
