Alis Bio:
Ali Alsaloom is an Emirati National from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, who has chosen to live his life differently than most. From an early age, Ali's passion for travel and his interest in cultural studies was ignited by his opportunity to travel with his father, an academic and avid traveler. In the years to follow, Ali embraced new cultures and languages such as English, South Korean and German.

Ali is a live-wire presenter with a personal style that is both deep rooted in the Arabic culture and at the same time, open-minded. He is a gripping speaker, who delivers with passion, ease and expertise. His in-depth cultural and religious awareness gives him a distinctive insight into Gulf culture, which he applies to every project he undertakes.
A University of Central Florida Hospitality Management & Tourism graduate, Ali pursued many areas of the tourism industry while living in the USA, including launching a unique Middle Eastern themed restaurant in Orlando, Florida.

While pursuing his MBA in Brand Management from Wilfred Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada, Ali lectured colleagues on Cross Culture Management. Dr. Franklin Ramsoomair, the professor with whom he most closely worked described Ali’s Endeavour as, “…nothing short of spellbinding. Ali puts both heart and soul into whatever he does and the hard work required in preparation shows in the final product. I would class Ali as one of the top five students with whom I have worked, out of a total of approximately 8,000 students whom I have seen.”

Ali has worked with the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority's MICE department. His strong connection to his country's history and culture has given him the expertise to be a specialist tour guide to VIP guests on exclusive tours. Ali’s charm and humor build instant rapport with everyone he interacts.

Ali has applied his Brand Management skills in the world of Advertising and Marketing, where he develops strategies and ad campaigns, creates corporate websites, and is a consultant to various corporations and organizations.

Currently, Ali’s enthusiasm to share his cultural insights and acquaint people with his regions social, business and cultural environment has resulted in, no prizes for guessing, www.embracearabia.com and the Ask-Ali online UAE information portal. Ali’s omnibus corporate identity – Maestro Commercial Enterprises has recently launched OneTVO online business TV in partnership with world authority speaker and businessman Reg Athwal.
