OUR RESEARCH MANAGER

Ali's specialty lies in matching business and data analytics professionals with their perfect roles.

But her skills don’t stop there - she’s also adept at sourcing candidates for executive level roles across Sales, Marketing, Product Management, and General Management.

Before joining R&P Group in 2011, Ali honed her skills as a Sales Associate and Counter Manager for Dillard’s, a national department store, and as a top-performing intern for SDN Communications, a regional telecommunications provider.

Ali thrives on the thrill of the hunt, always keeping her finger on the pulse of industry news and publications. She’s the one behind our early-stage search responsibilities, from building contact lists to writing job descriptions and managing our online presence. For Ali, the best part of recruiting in the Payments Industry is the continual learning process. Every call, every connection, every story is a step towards the perfect match. And when that match happens? It’s pure magic.
