Ali Backscheider

Ali is a Cincinnati, OH native with a passion for solutions and innovation. She worked in Big Tech at Sprinklr, a New York-based billion-dollar social media unicorn startup, at its Austin, TX satellite office from 2014 – 2021. Ali, like many folks during the COVID-19 pandemic, realized it was time to recalibrate and return to her factory settings. She moved back home to Cincinnati, did meaningful work for a social enterprise hub called Flywheel, and accepted a role of a lifetime with Forward Party as its Social Media & Tech Manager soon afterwards. Ali has a deeper voice than Batman, played NCAA D1 soccer at Butler University, and currently spends most of her free time snuggling with her four-legged friend, Frank – a Shiba Inu Jack Russell Terrier rescue dog.
