”No-nonsense consultancy”

Thierry Alen is een echte doener: een denker die de daad bij het woord voegt!

Digitally transform and successfully use data

In our modern society, data and internet related services play an increasing role. But how do we make optimal use of these services? How and where do we use them? Which people, processes and technologies do we need?

As a result of ongoing digitisation, organisations are constantly having to deal with changes. They have to respond to new technological developments, tap new markets or restructure their existing markets. Moreover, companies have an increasing amount of data at their disposal. They want to make optimal use of this, but at the same time comply with applicable privacy laws and data protection regulations.

Thierry Alen has a clear vision on digitization. With plenty of experience in the technology sector, Alen can rightly be called an expert when it comes to digital transformation and digitisation projects. Thierry Alen has the personality needed to initiate change, and can support organisations like no other in the deployment of the appropriate IT-related services.

Owner Intelectric Network Solutions

Over the years I have come to know Thierry as a driven person with a lot of knowledge of the services and products in his package. He is extremely communicative, speaks four languages and knows how to attract customers in his own unique way. Thierry is very social and compassionate: a real people person. I am pleased that our collaboration has been successful for more than seventeen years, time and again.

David Barlow

Director at Esprit Digital Interactive Lt

Thierry is one of those rare people in business “a creative thinker”. Thierry brings a deep knowledge of his subject and a lateral view of how that knowledge might be applied. Thierry will be a tremendous asset to any business that operates outside the ‘me too’ business model that is increasingly bringing the elecronic security industry to a commodity industry.

Thierry Alen Business developer

Thierry Alen about himself:

Zoveel mogelijk synergie binnen een team, dát is mijn doel.

“ Elk bedrijf en elke afdeling binnen een organisatie heeft vraagstukken of uitdagingen die  lastig te  beantwoorden of op te lossen zijn. Hoe realiseer je met innovatieve technologieën nieuwe businessmodellen, kwaliteitsverbeteringen of bijvoorbeeld besparingen? Dergelijke projecten vragen om iemand met een diepgaand verstand van de nieuwste technologische ontwikkelingen. Een manager die daarin kansen ziet, de leiding kan nemen en teams kan motiveren.”

As a business developer Thierry Alen worked both nationally and internationally with multidisciplinary teams.

Thierry quickly understands the nature of problems and will come up with the right solution in a foreseeable future. Sometimes he is a specialist, sometimes more generalist. In addition to the necessary professional knowledge, Thierry has plenty of knowledge of people and is happy to take responsibility. Thierry is regarded by many as an inspirer and motivator.

Thierry Alen is:

Besluitvaardig
Thierry kan goed leidinggeven, neemt op tijd beslissingen en blijft vervolgens bij zijn besluit. Bij onzekerheid maakt hij toch een keuze en neemt daarvoor de volle verantwoordelijkheid.

Competent
Thierry voorziet in de juiste middelen om teams optimaal te laten presteren. Hij heeft de competentie om mensen positief te beïnvloeden en overtuigen.

Integer
Integriteit dwingt respect af. Mensen kunnen op Thierry vertrouwen. Dat bevordert de prestaties, tevredenheid en betrokkenheid van medewerkers.

Visie
Thierry heeft een duidelijke visie en vindt dat belangrijk. Een heldere visie geeft mensen een gemeenschappelijk doel en motiveert ze om door te zetten. Zonder visie geraakt men nergens.

Bescheiden
Vanuit een altijd bescheiden en soms zelfs nederige opstelling, blijft Thierry in balans tussen gedienstigheid en krachtig leiderschap.

Volhardend
Thierry Alen heeft in het verleden verschillende organisaties getransformeerd, gemoderniseerd en geoptimaliseerd. Hij doet dat met een instelling van nooit opgeven: flexibel, maar altijd volhardend.

Cathelijne Vos

Business Transformation Consultant

Thierry is not your average sales guy. His unorthodox appraoch and out of the box thinking makes him succesful in tough markets. Apart from that, his sense of humor and positive nature make him a pleasure to work with.

Frank van der Velde

Insights & Analytics Director at Brand-Liquid

Thierry delivered outstanding results in a time-frame that was deemed virtually impossible. Excellent knowledge and accurate feedback at each stage of the project.

Thierry Alen has been dealing with data and communication networks components up from the early 90th. Since, he was a promoter of the so called “structured cabling” in BeNeLux. We did a great job together, also many years later, after he works for me!
