Aleksei Mikhalev , LONDON, United Kingdom

Key Skills: data analytics, Python (data analytics libraries), start-ups, venture capital.

I am a beginner data analyst with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Have a proven ability to manage projects and build effective business relationships with clients that I developed during 8 years’ work experience in international law firms and venture capital funds. Working with major companies as well as startups resulted in my business acumen and understanding specifics of large and small businesses and various industries. Entrepreneurial mindset, ambitions and drive for the result are my strengths in looking for a business solution. These skills coupled with the constant learning in data analytics and programming allow me to slice and dice information about a business problem and find an effective solution. Currently completing MSc in Business Innovation from Birkbeck, University of London and ready to start working immediately. My entrepreneurial spirit also proved itself during my studying at Birkbeck, University of London. I enrolled in extra-curricular course “Pioneer”, which targets enthusiastic young entrepreneurs and focuses on the development of their business skills and new venture creation. My team and I created two business ideas, and both were shortlisted for the final demo day at Santander Pioneer Competition 2019. We won in the nomination “Best Business Pitch”. I am proud of it because it was a privilege to teamed up with so bright people who became my good friends. Also, it helped me to develop my presentation skills.
