Afreen Ali

With over 18 years of experience as a marketing professional in the corporate world, I’ve had the opportunity to design, execute, and lead a diverse range of high-impact marketing campaigns, and strategic initiatives across various industries. Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats—marketer, mentor, manager, strategist, and coach. I’ve led dynamic teams, nurtured emerging talent, and built a culture of creativity, accountability, and collaboration. The greatest satisfaction I’ve drawn from my professional journey has not just been from campaign results, but from seeing individuals in my team grow in confidence, find their path, and take ownership of their professional success.

It’s this experience that has inspired me to transition into a parallel role as a career counselor. I bring not just corporate insights, but a deep understanding of what it takes to thrive in evolving work environments—from navigating office dynamics and identifying personal strengths to making bold career pivots and developing leadership skills.

As a counselor, I aim to add value by:

·         Helping individuals gain clarity about their goals and strengths

·         Sharing real-world insights about industry expectations and opportunities

·         Mentoring early- and mid-career professionals on how to position themselves for success

·         Offering practical advice on resume building, interviews, networking, and upskilling

·         Guiding students and fresh graduates to make informed academic and professional choices
