Aslan is also one of the world’s most sought-after Moderators and Masters of Ceremonies of high-level international conferences & summits, including for the UN, the G20, the EU, the World Bank, the IMF and the OECD.
As a presenter known and respected globally, Ali has regularly moderated major conferences in various countries. In doing so, he has been privileged to share the international stage with big names, including Bill Clinton, Christine Lagarde, John McCain, Emmanuel Macron, and Madeleine Albright. Others include Sergey Lavrov, Justin Trudeau, and Angela Merkel, a former German Chancellor who served between 2005 and 2021.
