Ali has spent his career helping high growth startups scale by applying technology and process excellence to power great people to do great things.

He started his career as a staff engineer and then product manager at Digital Island, a pioneering company during the dotcom boom of the late 1990s that built one of the most robust data networks in the world.

One of his clients was Doug Brien, and eventually, Ali joined Doug and Colin as the Chief Technology Officer of Waypoint Homes, where he was the architect of Waypoint's industry-leading technology platform that powered the purchase and management of over 17,000 homes across the U.S.

Christine Fox has always loved dogs. When she started her business almost 20 years ago, there was no such thing as a dog daycare center. Now, there are dog centers are on every corner. Her mission is to make a difference by reducing the amount of dogs who are given away or euthanized every year due to treatable and preventable reasons. She believes it takes more than a heart and a home when you bring home a dog.

Ryan LaFontaine's path after graduation was always clear – he wanted to work for his family's auto dealership group, which was established by his father, Michael Sr., and mother, Maureen, in 1984. By 2008, LaFontaine was named chief operating officer of the LaFontaine Automotive Group, which has since grown to encompass 39 franchises, 20 retail locations, a global vehicles division, a parts warehouse and five full-service collision centers, employing more than 1,300 individuals across Michigan.

And he is a recognized industry leader, having served as president of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) and recently named chairman of the 2018 North American International Auto Show, the youngest chairman in the show's 111-year history. LaFontaine is also proud to guide the next generation of automotive industry leaders through the LaFontaine Automotive Internship Program, a 12-week immersive experience at his dealerships.

And while LaFontaine's career has been meteoric, he suffered a setback in 2008 when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. LaFontaine took that very difficult experience and turned it into something positive. He had heard about a 10-week nationwide fundraising challenge to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Even though he was fighting cancer and just had twin boys, LaFontaine and his sister, Kelley, decided to enter. "With family and friends at our side, we raised $228,000 for LLS, which was an all-time record," he said. For his efforts, he was named the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Man of the Year in 2010. This successful fundraising effort propelled LaFontaine and his sister to go even further and create the U CAN-CER VIVE Foundation. The organization, which is run solely by volunteers so 100 percent of profits are donated to the cause, provides vital funding and support for local cancer research grants.
