Founder and CEO
John Shafaee is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ALIS, Assisted Living’s Intelligent Software. Under John’s leadership, ALIS has grown into one of the industry’s most innovative and forward-thinking technology partners, serving assisted living, memory care, and independent living operators nationwide.
