The Unfair Advantage

The new Book "The Unfair Advantage" uncovers the secret behind why some startups make it and others don’t. Available in Jan 2020- Pre-order book from Amazon, WHSmiths, Foyles & Waterstones.

Wrapping up my experience as the first UK Marketing Director of £3.5 billion company JUST EAT into a practical narrative, I break apart the different types of unfair advantages swimming just under the surface of your favourite success stories. Every single one of them has an unfair advantage within the MILES structure (Money, Intelligence & Insight, Location & Luck, Education & Expertise, Status).  Out on January 9th 2020!

I've done keynotes on "Startup Marketing", "How to find your unfair advantage", "My personal/JUST EAT success story", "The first 3 years in startups" and have been part of several panel debates, pitch judging and discussions.

Co-Founder of Uhubs | Bestselling Author: 'The Unfair Advantage' | Empowering SaaS Sales Leaders to Exceed Targets

Hey there! I’m Ash Ali, an entrepreneurial spirit who thrives on turning ideas into reality. 

Best known as the first marketing director at Just Eat, I helped scale it to Series A which then went onto become UK’s first tech unicorns.

But my journey didn't start in the usual boardroom. Without a formal degree, I carved my path through sheer grit, instinct, and a knack for seeing opportunities where others see obstacles. 

Today, I leverage my 20 plus years experience to mentor, invest in, and fuel the next generation of startups.

I co-authored "The Unfair Advantage: How You Already Have What It Takes to Succeed" which won Business Book of the Year.

Our book dives into leveraging your unique traits for success — something I live by and encourage others to recognise in themselves.

I'm currently leading Uhubs, a cutting-edge B2B sales performance startup that empowers sales leaders to define and measure excellence in their teams. 

Our unique Pulse technology provides real-time insights and metrics, helping businesses understand "what good looks like" in sales performance. 

It's about bringing clarity and precision to skills for better sales strategies, enabling teams to thrive in today's competitive markets.

My personal philosophy is to:

"Embrace your unique journey, your most significant 'unfair advantage' might just be something you already possess."

If you’re an entrepreneur at heart, a sales leader looking to elevate your team, or just want to chat about the startup world's highs and lows, feel free to connect! 

I'm always open to sharing ideas, speaking at events and conferences and specialise in GTM, Marketing, Sales and everything to do with starting tech startups.

Co-founder - We're hiring!

WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH ME DIFFERENT: 
The core of my Strengths Leadership philosophy comes from 10 years on the front-lines as a full-time leader, leading big and small teams. During that time, I discovered 4 things that lead to the dream team and reduced stress that we all want: 
1️⃣ Leveraging your own strengths as well as strengths of your team members
2️⃣ Managing your blind spots that come with each strength 
3️⃣ Authentic assertive communication 
4️⃣ Effective 1:1s based on the right questions and constructive feedback

When all 4 of these elements connect, you have your dream team, leading your team is smooth and comfortable and you can fully rely on your team’s performance. 

➡️ Instead of frustration, there is clarity and Strengths is your common language/culture that everyone speaks fluently!

➡️ Instead of having to work 50+ hours a week and being stressed with your people's issues and having sleepless nights, you will be able to voice concerns or make requests without feeling overly anxious.

➡️ Instead of worrying about people leaving and the turnover and rehiring cost, you will see how everyone is fulfilled and satisfied with their contributions which results in better engagement and a solid team where "everyone will take a bullet for each other" (these are the exact words of team members I’ve worked with) 

The core mission behind my work is to help people like you to be able to communicate with their team members and colleagues confidently (less of working crazy hours and overthinking about team members and more of delegating the right things to the right people with confidence)
