Ali Sedighi.
Founder of SAZ. Operator behind a Canadian portfolio of consulting, technology, and growth ventures under the Sedighi.ca brand.
The chapters that built
a Canadian consulting firm.
A decade as an operator
Ali spent the first chapter of his career operating — building, scaling, and selling businesses across technology, real estate, infrastructure, and home services. He learned firsthand that strategy without execution is theatre, and execution without strategy is waste. Most consulting firms fix one and neglect the other.
Building the firm he wanted to hire
After hiring (and firing) multiple consulting firms across two decades, Ali founded SAZ to be the firm those engagements never were: senior all the way down, technical from day one, accountable to outcomes, and structured so that the work actually ships. Ali leads every engagement personally.
AI as the operating system
AI is the highest-leverage technology of the decade, and Ali built SAZ around the conviction that operators who embed AI inside their core workflows will compound advantages for years. SAZ ships production AI systems — with governance, evals, and on-call coverage — under PIPEDA, PHIPA, OSC, and law society frameworks.
Canada-wide footprint
Headquartered in Vancouver, with active engagements in every major Canadian market and cross-border programs. Ali operates SAZ alongside his other ventures under the Sedighi.ca brand — a portfolio of operator-led businesses serving Canadian and cross-border clients.
“Strategy is what you commit to. Execution is what your customers feel. Most firms only sell the first half. SAZ ships both.”
What every engagement runs on.
The operating principles Ali embeds into every SAZ engagement.
Strategy that ships
Every engagement defines the business outcome and ships the systems required to make it real.
AI as core infrastructure
Not theatre, not pilots — production AI with governance, evals, and on-call coverage.
Trust is the product
NDA-bound. Aligned to your outcomes, even when it costs us the next phase.
Senior all the way down
The founder leads scoping. Senior partners stay through delivery. No bait-and-switch.
Convergence over churn
We commit to clarity and decisions, not infinite optionality. Speed compounds.
Compound, don't consult
Every engagement leaves a system and cadence that keeps compounding after handoff.
