The pizza pivot: How General Assembly transformed from a busy restaurant to an IPO
Ali Khan Lalani is the CEO of General Assembly. If you asked us pre-pandemic, we’d have told you that it’s a popular pizza restaurant in Toronto.

He shares how he led his company from in-person dining to pizza subscription company — and their plans for future growth.
