Zakaria Ali

I am a results-oriented finance and operations leader with over four years of progressive experience across SaaS, logistics and hospitality sectors. I focus on customer retention, performance management and data-driven decision-making to drive measurable business outcomes.

In prior roles I led budgeting, forecasting, audits and internal controls for multi-location operations and organizations with revenues above $5M, improving profitability and liquidity through strategic initiatives. I have implemented digital accounting systems and improved reporting accuracy to enable better strategic decisions.

I have a track record of reducing costs and improving cash flow—examples include a 14% operational cost reduction, a 12% profitability increase and a 20% reduction in outstanding receivables—while supervising and mentoring distributed finance teams.

I excel at cross-functional collaboration with operations, sales and customer success, working with U.S.-based clients and international partners to align financial strategy with business objectives and scale processes that support growth.
