Alain Leroy's Summary
Passionate about ICT technologies, I keep on learning and transferring knowledge be it through social networks, curation, training, conferences or face 2 face.
I'm eager to apply ICT technologies to all domains making sure the integration is smooth and efficient from a technology perspective but also from a human and financial perspective. On a daily basis, I focus on the acquisition, usage and integration of ICT technologies at my customers (and myself, of course).
My best role is in a staff position, helping the general management defining a strategic vision for the use of ICT technologies in his company and, when needed, applying the necessary changes for the company to go to the next level.
I'm open to any inquiry, be it in Belgium or abroad.

Alain Leroy's Experience
Solution Sales - System Center Suite
Microsoft
Public Company; 10,001+ employees; MSFT; Computer Software industry
March 2012 – Present (3 months) Brussels Area, Belgium
As freelance solution sales, my job is to help customers (from 250 to 2500 users) and their preferred partners understand the value of having a fully managed infrastructure, be it physical, virtual or cloud oriented to focus the IT team's energy on delivering value to the business rather that spending time in mainting the system in good operational mode.
Member of the steering and scientific comittees for the candidacy of Liège 2017
CETIC
Nonprofit; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry
December 2011 – Present (6 months)
"Connecting the World, linking people".
The revolution in methods of communication, i.e. their intensification and dematerialisation thanks to networks such as the Internet or mobile phones, is very recent in the scheme of human history. This development is having an impact on the everyday life of each and every one of us: it encourages more frequent exchanges, it is triggering new forms of relationships, it is opening up new horizons and changing out attitudes to space and time, it is prompting a shift in our relations with information, culture and the memory of our societies.
This new reality means that it is necessary to reconsider the link between mankind and its environment (family, professional, cultural, etc.) at individual and community level, both locally and internationally.
But the these communication technologies and the boom in digital instruments are only as valuable as their contribution to the personal development of individuals and to the solidarity between them.
How can the methods devised to connect the planet be instrumentalised to further this solidarity? That is the question raised by Liege Expo 2017, in particular with regard to its human aspects: health, sustainable transport, environment, culture and education.

Owner
Pentacle
January 2007 – Present (5 years 5 months)
Pentacle focuses on coordinating change in all non core business activities of its favourite customers (Small & Medium Businesses with 15 to 75 employees where the business owner still is the General Manager).
Around the core business, there are lots of activites such as Finance, Legal, HR, Technology & Marcom that are difficult to tackle by business owners.
Pentacle is built around a partnership model with a number of highly specialized freelance partners, all of them being orchestrated by one project manager at Pentacle.
Pentacle is very effective in Change Management and is not meant to deal with the day to day operational aspects of a business.
