Al – Co-Founder
After an interesting but ultimately unrewarding 13 years working in banking in London and Geneva, I made the move into full time mountain life and have never looked back. I oversee the commercial and business-change side of AliKats and I am also the co-founder and president of Montagne Verte, an environmental NGO which pioneers a low-carbon circular alpine economy so that future generations can thrive here in Morzine. My office time rarely exceeds 25 hours/week and the rest of my time is spent in the mountains & parenting my 3 kids. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn
Kat – Co-Founder
Following an unfulfilling career in media sales in London, I was looking for a new challenge when I met Al and I already had one eye on the mountains. Since 2010, we have been living here in Morzine and I now have a life creating interesting menus, recruiting and managing our wonderful team looking after our 3 gorgeous children. Al and I are also on the board of trustees for local environmental charity Montagne Verte
Beca – Head of Operations
In 2017 I took a break from the corporate world and disappeared with my bike Brynmor to New Zealand. In 2018 Brynmor and I arrived in Morzine and it was then that the career break became a total lifestyle change… I have lived in the Alps (on and off) since (thanks to those infamous “B” and “C” words). It’s a privilege to live in a place that most people only get a glimpse of on holiday and to share it with our guests. I’m committed to making sustainable choices and decreasing the impact that holidays have on our planet so it’s a joy to be part of the likeminded Alikats team making a real commitment to protecting our planet and investing in its future.
Grace – Sales Team
I’m thrilled to have joined the AliKats sales team! After graduating, I needed a change – and I’ve been calling Morzine home for the past 3 years, living with what’s essentially a postcard view on my doorstep. What drew me to AliKats was their commitment to incredible client experiences while protecting our planet. When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring new mountain trails with my rescue dog – there’s always another adventure waiting!
Why not let me help you plan a holiday full of adventure?
Hector – dog
Hector is the youngest member of the AliKats team but is very keen to learn. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious and he can often be found urging the team on with encouraging barks. While Hector has never skied or snowboarded before, he is hoping to find his feet on the snow this season. He is also very much looking forward to meeting our wonderful guests.
Kellymae – Supervisor
Hi, I’m Kellymae, born and raised in Australia, but Ireland is my second home which makes me excited to explore more of Europe. After spending two incredible years in Canada doing ski seasons, I realised I couldn’t get enough of that lifestyle and so, I moved to the Alps. I love snowboarding, exploring new terrain, and living where the mountains are always just outside my door.
