About Ali

Passionate entrepreneur in coffee and catering, I combine a solid background in entrepreneurship (ESCE Paris) with practical experience in managing a family restaurant. I have developed both strategic and operational skills: team management, schedule optimization, cost monitoring, and customer experience improvement.

I also had the opportunity to train in the world of coffee during a university exchange in Colombia, where I took barista courses (brewing methods, roasting, latte art). This immersion allowed me to better understand the issues of quality, sourcing, and storytelling around specialty coffee.

Today, I offer my support for missions related to project management, concept development in catering, business strategy, or creating coffee experiences. Curious, autonomous, and results-oriented, I enjoy transforming ideas into concrete and sustainable projects.

Would you like me to provide a shorter version (e.g., 3-4 lines for the Malt header), or a version focused on consulting/management (more focused on business and optimization than coffee)?
