Storyteller – Simplifier – Strategist

Alain likes it best when the right thing to do is also a nice thing to do. That’s why he’s on a mission to make the world a more customer-friendly place. Not just because it’s nice, but because he has learned that customer-centricity is the most profitable strategy any business can pursue. 

Alain has over 20 years of experience as an international strategist, retailer and venture capitalist. Today he heads up Futurelab, where he contributes his passion for the customer and a mind for simplicity. He has worked on customer-centricity programmes for a variety of brands, including: ING, Lexus, Vodafone, McLaren and the very tasty Bordeaux wines.
