Ali earned her early hospitality stripes working in restaurants in the suburbs of Chicago before landing at the Four Seasons while attending the University of Miami. Post-college she serendipitously picked Austin as one of seven cities in a hat and promptly moved in 2007. As hospitality is the bulk of her experience, she has developed with partner Mary an agency where customer service is at the core. What’s important to her in addition to the client experience, is developing a team and company culture that lets talent thrive. Her behind-the-scenes talents lie in keeping us insured and the lights on. She says boring, we say crucial.
