Summary
Alain Couniot is a Senior Enterprise Architect based in Brussels with over 20 years of cross-sector experience blending enterprise and IT architecture, project and crisis management, and software development. He has led architecture teams and governance boards at large organisations (STIB‑MIVB, Sopra Steria) and built Communities of Practice to scale architectural thinking across Benelux. His background in computational mechanics (PhD) and early research on numerical simulation gives him a rare technical depth for modelling complex industrial processes and automating architecture-driven decisions. Equally comfortable managing middleware operations and shaping strategic application roadmaps, he connects low-level infrastructure realities with long-term digital transformation. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic standards, knowledge management, and for turning academic rigor into operational resilience.
