Hello, I'm Alima
"As if you Could Kill Time without Injuring Eternity"
A seasoned innovator with a proven track record in high-growth industries, I excel at transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
My career began at a FinTech startup that worked on a proprietary algorithm allowing small business owners access to capital where I played a pivotal role in growth and developing traction. As one of the very early hires, we tirelessly worked to challenge traditional lending practices to create a more inclusive financial ecosystem.
​
Subsequently, I effectuated my sales and business development leadership abilities in the SaaS industry, architecting an outbound sales channel for a learning management software company based in Palo Alto. Later, I joined the executive team for a Ugandan FinTech company working to alleviate the market gap between banks and rural small business owners. I worked as the Chief of Product developing a strategy for a white-label product launch.
Most recently, I founded my own venture, a sustainable bioplastic production method from waste materials. Throughout my career, I've cultivated a strong ability to adapt, learn rapidly, and drive results.

Co-Founder
President, Chief of Operations
We forged a community-centric approach to develop sustainable 3D-printed products while pioneering a proprietary bioplastic production method from waste materials. As a multifaceted leader, I oversaw daily operations, sales strategy, business development, accounting, finance, and more. Collaborating closely with our engineering team, I drove strategic planning and growth initiatives with my co-founder. To bridge my own technical gap, I rapidly acquired expertise in chemical engineering and recycling.

Investor
I drove product diversification, with a strategic focus on developing a white-label offering while taking part in business development efforts and crafting industry focused marketing materials. My role included conducting in-depth investor analysis, representing the company at US conferences, and providing strategic support to the CEO. While the CEO focused on African markets, I immersed myself in Uganda's business landscape, collaborating closely with the tech team to gain a comprehensive understanding of operations to help build new products.

Business Development
As the inaugural business development hire on the outbound sales team, I architected and implemented a comprehensive sales and lead qualification program from the ground up. This encompassed developing performance metrics, conducting industry-specific benchmarking, and establishing a proof-of-concept through hands-on execution.

Sales Analyst
Joining a high-growth fintech company during a period of exponential growth, I quickly immersed myself in a fast-paced, highly competitive environment. Within two years, I contributed to scaling the business from $4 million in weekly loan volume to $4 million daily. As retention lead, I developed and executed strategies to cultivate strong customer relationships, managing a portfolio of over 60 brokers while simultaneously driving new broker acquisition. Seeking to broaden my impact, I transitioned to a cross-functional role, gaining a deep understanding of the organization to optimize growth initiatives aligned with executive and investor objectives.
