Industry Veteran Jeff Slaughter Joins ALCEA as Head of Business Development
Plano, Texas –ALCEA, an ASSA ABLOY company and global provider of total security solutions for critical infrastructure, has announced the hiring of Jeff Slaughter as the Head of Business Development. Based in Dallas, he reports to Dominique Jardin, who was appointed as ALCEA’s Vice President, Head of Americas six months ago.
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 gave 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 U.S.
“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 CLIQ 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.”
In his new role, Slaughter will focus on accelerating ALCEA’s growth in its top vertical markets: energy and telecommunications, oil and gas, and transportation, 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, ALCEA’s advanced security management software platform that integrates access control, intrusion detection, video, visitor management, and key management within a modular, scalable system.
“ALWIN has already proven its value in securing high-risk and remote infrastructure sites across Europe,” Slaughter added. “There is enormous potential to replicate that success here in North America as we connect ALWIN to our complete keyed and keyless solutions portfolio.”
