FeatureAlcatel-Lucent Enterprise provides communication, cloud and network solutions to businesses of all sizes, from small to large enterprises. The vendors solutions help connect people and allow them to communicate and collaborate in a secure and reliable way. The IT solution we offer is end-to-end secure and geared towards digital transformation. To make this transformation possible, communication and collaboration, connectivity and secure cloud solutions are the main pillars.
Technology that is here today is paving the way for the future. However, for digital transformation to succeed, and for the technology to be an enabler, businesses must first have a clear picture of what they are trying to achieve. Secondly, the right mindset is crucial, because if you are trying to create a revolution which might be too disruptive and therefore with no appetite from your teams, it won’t work.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise connects everything by delivering digital age networking, communications and cloud solutions tailored for its customers’ success, in the cloud, on premises or hybrid. As a primary provider of technology, we are part of a large ecosystem. Some of these technologies are fundamental, such as switches, access points and phones.
However, our hybrid solutions encompassing LAN, wireless LAN, security, unified communication, and collaboration enable the technology to be truly transformational. With our suite of solutions and equipment, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is playing a key role in this evolution and does this by working with an ecosystem of business partners who are on the frontline of the acceleration of digitalisation.

My dream work environment is one where everyone has their fair chance to achieve their potential and scale their careers based on skills and knowledge not based on gender, religion, origins, colour. Everybody must feel that their contributions have a real impact and that their voice is heard and taken into consideration. A place where difference and diversity are respected and accepted and where everybody supports each other. On top of which, where the success of one person is the success of the team and the whole company in which we operate.
My Father is my role model. He has passed away, but I still remember real life values he taught me all along – like how to respect other, that nothing in life should be taken for granted, that you need to have a target in life and to work hard to obtain it. He said that we are on earth to leave a positive impact. My father achieved a respectful place in the society and had a valuable impact in the medical field with some innovation that until today, after almost 8 years of his death, people still speak about and how much he impacted their lives. I am trying to follow the same path and I hope that he is proud of me today.
I love traveling as it gives me a break from daily life and rejuvenates. It inspires me to see, taste, and try new things. While traveling, one can learn new things, get chances to meet and engage with different people and specially discovering new cultures which is enriching for me. Friends and loved ones can share meaningful experiences with each other. I love reading success stories and biographies. It gives insight into how successful people handled their crises and solved problems. Everyone can gain so much from reading other people’s stories and experiences and how to overcome difficult situations. They open our eyes to the world and help us make better decisions.
