Alumni Matters: Presentations workshop

Daniel Tinoco-Silva: Programmer, entrepreneur and presentations guru Daniel is determined to revolutionize the world of public speaking. His engaging style came about as a result of sitting through way too many university, graduate and professional presentations. In 2015 he co-founded The Presentations Workshop, to help those who have great ideas but not-so-great communication skills create and deliver attention-grabbing pitches. When he’s not helping students, entrepreneurs and business professionals impress everyone they speak to, he builds websites, works in McGill University’s fundraising department, and is completing an MBA at Concordia.

Haider Ali: Co-founder of The Presentations Workshop, Haider heads the Business Intelligence Unit for McGill University, using a potent combination of software and magic to turn data into insight. His love for presentations and public speaking comes from recognizing the power of storytelling, and its ability to move and inspire people. Haider is incredibly passionate about finding the human element in everything he does. He believes authenticity is the most important element in business. During his MBA, Haider saw that detached and humourless presentations were the norm and, with his co-founder Daniel Tinoco, decided to create The Presentations Workshop to help improve the standard.
