“Alan is one of those rare individuals that not only fully integrates ideas and concepts into his thinking, but does it so well that he can share new approaches to tackling difficult problems. It was always an experience to watch Alan engage with other executives, helping them understand difficult problems and then bringing them to solutions that they felt confident with. Alan's comfort with strategy, marketing, product management, technology, research and finance puts him in a class of his own. I learnt something new abou the security business and myself every time I worked with Alan.”
