Why I Started Slowe

Hi, I'm Aly, Slowe’s founder. 👋

I've spent my career in tech, marketing, and sales — from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies. For the last decade, I've been deep in tech sales, helping major brands navigate their AI strategies and digital transformations.

I'm literally at the forefront of where technology is headed — but my real passion has always been health, wellness, and creating incredible experiences.

A few years ago, I made it official: I became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. What started as a personal deep dive into wellness became the foundation for something bigger — combining my tech expertise with real health knowledge to build a solution I couldn't find anywhere else.

I'm also a world-traveling, health-obsessed foodie who's that friend — the one creating color-coded itineraries with every café, studio, and hidden gem mapped out.

I built Slowe because I was tired of the guesswork.

For years, I found myself constantly asking: Is this place using quality ingredients? Does this business align with my values? Where can I find local, sustainable spots without spending hours researching?

I wanted one place to discover the most health-minded, purpose-driven businesses — so I built it.

Slowe is for anyone who cares about how they spend their time and money, whether you're local or just visiting. It's for people who want to support businesses doing things differently.
