Bio

Ali Jamal, is the chief executive officer of Stablegold Hospitality, a real estate investment company that specializes in affordable accommodations for low/no income individuals and families. Ali decided to do something out-of-the-box for the hotel industry and took a page from Wal-Mart, placing focus on volume vs. room rates. This ingenuity has developed a unique business model that allows him to profitably serve a demographic most businesses shy away from and in doing so he performs a service for the entire community by saving and re-purposing buildings that might otherwise remain vacant. What started in 2011 as one rundown and shutdown hotel is now a thriving business, which includes approximately $50 million in assets under management, 1500 rental units – consisting of 12 independently operated extended stay hotels and single family residential housing - and employs more than 150 people across the United States of America.
