Alignor was founded in 1999 by Harvard Law graduates John Shulman and Jeanne-Marie Almonor. Globally recognized negotiation experts, Mr. Shulman and Ms. Almonor developed practical frameworks, tools and methodologies for implementing negotiation best practices across a wide range of business interactions, including sales, purchasing, managing teams, resolving conflict, digital and cultural transformations, risk management, and leading organizations.

Organizations implementing Alignor’s approach have documented substantial revenue increases, faster closing time for deals, reduced risks and costs, and stronger relationships (internal and external) that they attribute to their work with Alignor.

Alignor has trained and worked with tens of thousands of leaders, managers, team members and professionals from large organizations throughout the United States and the world, including 3M, AstraZeneca, ABN AMRO Bank, Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cadbury, Caterpillar, the CCIM Institute, Coca-Cola Icecek, Cummins, Delta Air Lines, Disney, Dräger, Fundaçao dom Cabral, General Mills, the Government of India, Grupo Televisa, HealthPartners, Henkel, International Dairy Queen, Medtronic, the Municipality of Dubai, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, the NAACP, Pepsico, Saint Catherine University, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Syngenta, Thomson Reuters, the United Nations, the US State Department and GSA, US Bank, and Xcel Energy.

Alignor’s public interest work includes partnering with the Harvard Program on Negotiation to facilitate dialogue among Middle East leaders concerning Gaza and the West Bank, training United Nations personnel at the UN War Crimes Tribunal for Rwanda, and partnering with the Government of India, the National Law University, Delhi and other leading institutions in India to develop negotiation, conflict resolution, and empowerment training programs.
