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.

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.

“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.
