Ali and I worked together at International Personal Finance over a period of 18 months during which the whole business was going through a period of global transformational change. Ali played a key part in supporting teams across Europe and Mexico to adopt best practice in their approach to transformational change, leadership development and training. She is not only an expert in her field, but an energising, caring, team player who quickly gains the respect of those that she works with. I love her positive outlook and dedication to making a difference. She always manages to bring an element of fun, creativity and professionalism to her work, infecting those around her with optimism.
