Testimonials from entrepreneurs and startups whom I have had the honour to work with:
Maria Carpallo, Compliance Officer
I recently attended a “Speaking in Public” event where Ali was the speaker. He was extremely professional in his presentation and highly educated in the subject he presented. All his advice on “speaking in public” made complete sense and at the end of the day I was able to control my nerves and make a good presentation. I would highly recommend Ali to any company willing to invest on their staff on such an important soft skill.
Alfonso Paredes, CEO & Co-founder of WeVoice
I had the opportunity to meet Ali a year ago. He was acting as jury during Demium incubation program. He gave us all, one of the best pieces of advice. "If you follow your dreams, passion... don't worry, all the rest will follow." Fortunately, a couple of months later, I was mentored by him and you can tell. He instantly makes a difference. Direct, humble, true, and always being careful to make sure his advice has a positive impact in you. World citizen, making this world better. Keep it up. See you soon, Ali!"
Parisa Zare, Entrepreneur At Bridge for Billion
I had the pleasure to be mentored by Ali, and I have to admit that it was such a learning, thinking and enriching experience. Ali took the time to understand very well our company, our product and our USP. Not only he gave us great advice, he really put himself in our shoes and made us go deeper in our business and in our pitch. Ali is a great asset for any company that needs help with any aspect of their business. Definitely a contact to have in your radar and a great person to talk to. For a few months, I had the pleasure of working with Ali as an early-stage start-up. His constructive feedback was especially beneficial because it was based on his own successful business experience. I always felt enlightened and inspired after our mentoring meetings. Thank you, Ali, for allowing us to embark on our entrepreneurial path.

Manuel Morales, Founder & CEO of Nubentos
There is no waste of time when you Ali shares his experience and knowledge with you. Every minute is worth it, every idea is usefull. Ali is the ultimate mentor. He brings together essential qualities for this important work, which goes far beyond just possessing knowledge. Ali is a good listener, reads between the lines and will easily make accurate assumptions about details you haven't told him. As a mentor, Ali makes you feel like you're investing your time wisely, because instead of theorizing, he throws himself headlong into practical advice, into "what you can do, what you should do," depending on your situation and goal.
Ruby Giaquinto, Audit Manager at Canilas Chartered Accountant
Thank you Ali for being our coach. I highly recommend Ali to be your coach. I had a really great time and was able to get a lot of tips regarding public speaking. Continue doing what you're doing Ali as you are helping a lot of people boost their confidence and go up the ladder in their jobs! Take care.
Lisa Ah-Moye, Entrepreneur CFO
It is an absolute pleasure to recommend Ali. I first met Ali when he delivered a public speaking course for Girls in Tech in 2019. Ali was brilliant at encouraging me with his advice and constructive criticism giving me the confidence to stand up in a crowd and deliver a speech. Ali is my mentor in public speaking and in entrepreneurship. If ever you get the opportunity to work with Ali take it – I only regret not having met Ali earlier in my career as I could have benefitted from his knowledge and skills.
Joanne Deaves, Head of Business Relations (Transparent Payments)
I cannot recommend Ali enough. I met Ali when he delivered a public speaking bootcamp for Gibraltar Girls in Tech, Feb 2020. I felt a major achievement and boost of confidence following the bootcamp and Ali has excellent techniques to help in conquering and utilising the adrenaline that standing up and speaking in front of a crowd brings. I cannot thank Ali enough, and highly recommend to anyone looking to master public speaking skills.
Are you a VC, Incubator or Accelerator?
How many times have you fallen asleep in pitching events where entrepreneurs have simply failed to keep your attention Span?
Many entrepreneurs fail to communicate effectively. How often do you find good projects where the founders lack clarity and are unable to make a simple pitch to you? or how often have you come across entrepreneurs whose simple goal is to become Zuckerbergs, Amazons and rich?
I help turn week projects into winning teams with a message and purpose.
I help good projects into engaging and heart winning missions.
Accelerators and incubators I have worked with
- I´ve had the pleasure to know Ali for a few years now, and to work closely with him in a variety of projects and roles, always having the opportunity of learning from his rich experience and wise approach to life in general and entrepreneurship in particular. Ali was especially helpful during the time I was working as the Managing Director of the Malaga office of Demium Startups.
He worked with us as a mentor, advisor, and jury. During this time Ali mentored several of our startups, always receiving outstanding reviews from the entrepreneurs. I recommend Ali to any incubator/accelerator as a mentor and motivational speaker as well as to startups looking for help with their business model, work dynamic, growth plans, or pitching skills, among others.Raul Estrada
Demium Area Director (Málaga) - "I had the pleasure of or working with Ali from both a student and organiser perspective. Our non-profit, Girls in Tech Gibraltar, hired Ali to create and instruct a two-day public speaking bootcamp for a group of participants. Ali was the consummate professional - he was responsive and helpful during the lead-up to the event, he arrived early on the day, was well prepared and adapted to each person's particular challenges as the day went on. The bootcamp was so well received and the feedback was so positive that we decided to run the course again, this time as a one-day event. Ali reworked the course schedule to suit the shorter time and again the feedback we received was stellar."Kara McDade
Girls in Tech (Gibraltar) - I have had the pleasure of witnessing Ali's expertise during the mentorship sessions we organize with startups at Demium. His knowledge about startups and his endless advices on public speaking are the perfect mix that makes Ali a great mentor for any project willing to learn and grow.Nacho Sanchez Vazquez
Demium Incubation Manager (Madrid) - "Ali is an inspirational mentor to our entrepreneurs. He always ensures to listen first then provide completely new angles on how our startups and entrepreneurs can tackle diverse challenges. He is also a top speaker, knows the -in's and -out's of public speaking which he transmits to our entrepreneurs - teaching them how to communicate effectively and with impact. Let's not forget the obvious, Ali is a great & warm person and always willing to help."Julien de Waal
Head of Startup Acceleration (Demium)
