ABOUT ALEC MACDONALD

Hello, my name is Alec MacDonald and welcome to my LinkedIn page. I am excited to connect and share in a great network experience together. I am an Account Manager for IBM Canada focusing on storage and data resilience. I am here to help your business goals become a reality and ensure that you have the best products for the right job.I am a Bachelor of Commerce Graduate from Ryerson University majoring in Law and Business focusing in ethics and commerce and marketplace law. Prior and post Undergrad, I attended George Brown College receiving a Business Admin Diploma in Finance and a Post Graduate Certificate in Human Resources where I Graduated with Honours. My diverse background taught me I not only love learning, but the more I learn the better I can serve clients and those around me. People are my passion and seeing success for all in the world is the greatest thing we can witness, so why not help others make that a reality. I hold myself to high standards beyond my employer as I value Empathy to connect and understand your pain points, Altruism in acting to help you find the best solution for you regardless of the outcome for myself. My biggest strength is understanding as I want to understand peoples situations and provide empathy through communication and celebrating success while supporting in the tough times. I have been able to do this on a personal level and it has translated into successful relationships in my profession. Everyone\'s needs are different so my goal is to meet those needs, exceed expectations and connect on a level beyond business. Outside of work I am an avid runner who has been fortunate enough to run 3 marathons and am up for a good race anytime whether it\'s running or Formula 1, I love the thrill of a good P1 chase. I got into soccer as a kid because it was the only sport with no commercials that led to a fun run of supporting Manchester United until 2013 of course. I love my Toronto Maple Leafs and am passionate about animals volunteering as a dog walker for dog tales rescue during the pandemic and almost adopted 4 dogs in that timespan, but I held my composure. In terms of learning I value self-reflection seeking to be my best and understand my impact on others trying to be kind to those around me. I recommend listening to the Hidden Economic of Remarkable Women Podcast (HERO) and for fun some American Scandal of course, you won\'t be disappointed. Thank you for connecting and I look forward to learning about you, your business and what is most important in your life. Have a great day and chat soon!
