Meet Schooley Mitchell Strategic Partner Colin Alexander. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Colin began his work with Schooley Mitchell in November 2025, offering business cost reduction solutions out of Tallahassee, Florida.  

If you were to ask Colin about what he finds the most rewarding about his work, he wouldn’t tell you about recognition or money. He would tell you about fostering connections with his clients.  

As a strategic partner, Colin’s approach to helping businesses reduce cost is by building strong relationships with business owners and decision makers of all kinds. Colin says that when it comes to assisting businesses, understanding the team members, learning their stories, and understanding their contributions helps strengthen his knowledge and provide effective supports that lead to meaningful savings.  

So what is it that Colin can do for your business? At Schooley Mitchell, we specialize in reducing essential business expenses through our risk-free analysis process. Our aim is to identify areas where savings can be found, while ensuring your spending is optimized. Schooley Mitchell is the largest independent cost reduction consulting firm in North America, with offices from coast-to-coast in the United States and Canada. Nearly every type of business, in every sector, can benefit from Schooley Mitchell’s business model.  

For Colin, understanding the organization’s operations, culture, challenges, and goals, helps uncover inefficiencies that may not be visible through financial data alone. Building relationships with employees across departments provides valuable insight into day-to-day processes. Such relationships help to enable the development of practical, cost-saving solutions that support productivity rather than disrupt it. This collaborative approach helps ensure recommendations are well-informed, widely supported, and aligned with the company’s long-term objectives. 

Colin’s background in business management, finance, coding, sales, and project management has contributed to his growing knowledge and skill in providing cost-reduction solutions for businesses across multiple industries. Colin aims to provide services that can assist with the challenges businesses are facing and deliver meaningful savings. This often entails finding savings on vendor expenses like telecom, waste, payment processing, small package shipping, and more, which can then be redirected towards more meaningful areas, like staff salaries, service expansions, and more.  

Aside from work, Colin enjoys spending time outdoors with his fiancé, friends, and family members. He is currently in the process of finishing his MBA from Florida State University and looks forward to graduating Spring 2027. When not found at the desk, he is traversing the globe, catching waves, or skiing down a mountain.
