About Ali
I know what a career transition really feels like, because I've lived one. I moved from petroleum engineering into marketing and sales, and today I'm a results-driven business development professional based in Shenzhen, China, with 5+ years of experience closing deals across B2B and B2C markets. My work sits at the intersection of sales, marketing, and storytelling — but more importantly, I understand the fear and uncertainty that come with reinventing your career, because I did it myself.
I've worked in HR, business development, and marketing — all with zero background, straight out of an engineering degree. I built these skills from the ground up, and I can show you how to do the same.
I'm also multilingual — I work fluently and professionally in English, Chinese, and Persian, across pitches, content, negotiations, and localization — and I'm backed by certifications from the University of Pennsylvania (Marketing), Google (Digital Marketing & E-Commerce), IE University (Branding), and Rutgers University (Influencer Marketing), plus a Master's degree (3.96 GPA) from China University of Petroleum.
Whether you're switching industries, returning to work, or starting from scratch, my goal is simple: give you the practical skills and the confidence to get where you want to go. No prior background required — just a willingness to learn.

1 — Find your pillow first
When you're planning a career transition, the biggest worry is almost always the same: how do I keep money coming in while I make the switch? Most people get this wrong. They take on whatever work they can find, and end up in jobs that actually hurt them in the long run. What you need is a pillow — something you can rest your head on, knowing your bills are paid, you're eating well, and you've still got a little time and money left to enjoy life. I'll show you exactly how to build that.
2 — Get new skills without losing your income
A career transition means learning new skills, and right now you might have none of them. Feeling stressed? Don't be. I'll show you how to build the skills you need — step by step, and without giving up your income while you do it.
