Ali Brown
Ali Brown is fast becoming regarded as the voice for women's entrepreneurial success. As founder and CEO of Ali International LLC, she has created a dynamic enterprise that is devoted to empowering women entrepreneurs around the world and currently has over 50,000 members in her online and offline programs. Ali's entrepreneurial plans were hatched while working at a small New York City ad agency. She found herself frustrated at not being able to change and improve things, and her ideas fell on deaf ears. Then, in 1998 Ali made the decision that changed her life forever. "I finally realized that I should be an entrepreneur! I was working in a tiny company and was doing everything from talking to clients, to servicing accounts, to getting coffee for people, to fixing the fax machine. That was when I realized that I had the skills I needed to do this on my own." She quit her job. Without a mentor or coach to guide her, Ali immersed herself in books on marketing and success. Using a second-hand computer gifted by her younger brother, she discovered how to use online marketing to build her business. It appealed to her because it was low-cost, had a broad reach, and she could work from her kitchen table at home. Success has seen Ali and her businesses featured on Forbes.com, More.com, Business News Daily, The Huffington Post, Smart Business Los Angeles, and more. She has been interviewed on the Fox Business Network, E!, ABC News Now, the Style Network, and on ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC, and Sirius XM news and morning shows around the country. And her philanthropic efforts were featured in the spring 2011 season finale of ABC's hit primetime series, Secret Millionaire.
