At forty-three Alisand has had an illustrious twenty plus career, at age twenty-seven he was appointed Treasury Counsel and Legal adviser to the Minister for Finance and National Planning in Zambia a position he held for seven years, at thirty-four he was selected from a host of applicants as Managing Director of Zambia’s largest Pensions and Insurance Corporation the Zambia State Insurance which at the time was ailing financially with a balance sheet of minus 300 million Kwacha. Applying rare managerial skills and financial tact he set the firm on a paradigm shift that led to a 50 billion Kwacha surge and saved the sinking ship to profitability. Soon after that transformation the phd (pull him down syndrome) prevalent in some circles began, this was not helped with the change in government leading to his leaving public service and retiring at thirty-six.

He then launched a protracted 6-year legal battle and was to be vindicated in the multi-billion-kwacha legal settlement award to him in the Supreme Court of Zambia. He then delved into private practice and consultancy before the lure abroad launched him into the Diaspora. Alisand has scored some firsts including setting up the Revenue Appeals Tribunal of Zambia were he was the first: Registrar, Secretary to the Appeals Tribunal of the Bank of Zambia and Secretary to the Appeals Tribunal of the Pensions and Insurance Authority. He has travelled extensively in Africa, Latin America, North America and Europe.

Alisand, a Member of the Zambian Bar and a Court Certified Mediator, was born in Ndola to a civil servant and a housewife the third of five siblings, is a firm believer in the Good Lord's blessings and that no person should lay claim to fame save to share and count ones blessings, so that there is a clear understanding that the humble beginnings of one must not cause them to feel greater than others but to try and lift their spirits also and say ‘I did it so can you’.
