What happy clients are saying

Anam Munawar

Working with Alistair has been an incredibly positive experience. He is always quick to respond and consistently provide thoughtful, and practical advice— not just about career moves, but about life in general. Alistair played a critical role in helping me prepare for behavioral interviews, giving me the confidence and clarity I needed to present my story effectively. What I appreciate most is how easy he is to talk to—every session felt supportive, insightful, and tailored to my goals. I am truly grateful for his guidance and highly recommend working with Alistair to anyone navigating their career journey!

Grace Titilawo

Alistair created an invaluable space for group check-ins that brought together first-gen alumni navigating early career transitions. His sessions were thoughtful, well-guided, and offered a rare opportunity to connect across industries while discussing the real challenges we often face but rarely voice. His leadership made it feel safe, supportive, and empowering—something I deeply appreciated during that phase of my journey.

Maria Abreu

I had the chance to work with Alistair during a big career move in 2021. His support and advice were game-changers for me as I navigated the job market. Even after our initial sessions, Alistair stayed in touch and made sure to include me in alumni meetings where we caught up on career development. His genuine care and insightful feedback have been a huge asset to my career journey.

Branda Ayo

Working with Alistair has been a huge win throughout my professional career. He’s not just someone who supports you in the moment, he’s someone who shows up again and again, long after the workshop ends or the program wraps. From writing recommendation letters for major fellowships, to nominating me for scholarships and inviting me to represent BASTA at a national conference, Alistair has poured into me in ways that are hard to quantify. What stands out most is how consistently he’s built and nurtured the BASTA alumni community from his time there. 


More than anything, Alistair sees people. He sees your potential, your strengths, and he encourages you to lean into discomfort for personal growth. He doesn’t gatekeep opportunities, shares generously, and believes in the best for you. If you’re building with Alistair, you’re building with someone who’s deeply invested in your growth. I’m grateful to have had his support through so many chapters, and I know I’m not the only one.
