It was a great time, and I enjoyed having him on the show! "TECHNOLOGY SHOULD SERVE YOUR BUSINESS; YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD NEVER SERVE TECHNOLOGY" -- Ali Davachi Ali Davachi has over 25 years of hands-on experience with all facets of complex technology implementation at scale. This type of frictionless digital transformation and business acceleration is both possible and inevitable when you have the right (business-driven) platform and implementation partner in your corner. As a serial entrepreneur, he has led and delivered projects in Fortune 500 firms (healthcare, consumer products, financial services, and direct-to-consumer pure plays) with large volume mobile, payment, e-commerce, telecommunications, and customer-facing applications.

Ali has several elegant but straightforward philosophies to help companies. We talk about them on the show in a bit more depth.
