ALCEA, an ASSA ABLOY company, has named Jeff Slaughter as Head of Business Development.
Based in Dallas, Texas, he will report to Dominique Jardin, ALCEA’s Vice President and Head of Americas.
According to ALCEA, Slaughter brings more than two decades of experience building high-performing teams, launching advanced security technologies and leading enterprise-level national accounts.
His career spans every layer of the security ecosystem, from frontline system design and integration, to managing multi-state sales organizations and pioneering technology rollouts.
In 2020, Slaughter took an entrepreneurial step and founded his own security integration firm in Dallas.
For five years he led the business, delivering large scale access control, video, intrusion detection and automation systems for customers across healthcare, utilities, K–12, commercial buildings and major religious facilities.
Building and selling a security integration company is said to have given him a deep understanding of the integrator mindset, which is a perspective he now brings to ALCEA as it strengthens its security channel partner strategy in the US.
“Technology, integration and solving real security problems have been my passion for over 15 years,” Slaughter said.
“ALCEA is uniquely positioned to deliver a complete critical infrastructure solution, from ABLOY PROTEC2 CLIQÒ mechanical and electromechanical hardware to ALWIN security management software.
“I’m excited to help take these capabilities to the customers and verticals that need them most.”
Slaughter will focus on accelerating ALCEA’s growth in its top vertical markets while also preparing the company’s channel partners for a broader, more coordinated nationwide push.
His immediate focus includes the ramp-up to the North American launch of ALWIN. “ALWIN has already proven its value in securing high risk and remote infrastructure sites across Europe,” added Slaughter.
“There is enormous potential to replicate that success here in North America as we connect ALWIN to our complete keyed and keyless solutions portfolio.”
