Ali from UCL, with corporate experience, started Genoa ES with a few ideas in mind

Grew up in London and graduated from UCL with a 2:1 in French and Philosophy. At 17, Ali worked at Deloitte, interned at UCL’s Neuroscience department the same year, and was promoted after just 3 months at Amazon, becoming the youngest manager in London at 18. Always interested in tech and startups, he had considered launching one before university but lacked the guidance to do so. Before joining Genoa ES, he was planning to pursue a career in finance or strategy consulting but realized his true passion was creating something of his own. He chose the program because he wanted to build a global venture from the start.
