HI. I'M ALI SYED.
I'm based in Phnom Penh, and I help companies gain a competitive advantage through team mentoring workshops aimed at driving results.
​
I have over 20 years of experience working in marketing and advertising, and over 10 years of experience as a workshop trainer and public speaker.
​
In addition to that, I consult with businesses across multiple verticals on how they can elevate their brand amongst the clutter, as well as set up long term business practices that ensure that they are able to hire top talent, and sustain their business for a long time to come.
