Alianza Values

Growing Telco Revenue
Customer Advocacy

We care deeply about our customers and their end-users. We aggressively advocate on their behalf. We are obsessed with accelerating their success, eliminating their pain, and showing up in a way that reflects our commitment to being an indispensable strategic partner.

Growing Telco Revenue
Alignment

We seek to understand the big picture and align our actions with Alianza’s strategy and priorities. We are transparent and share context freely. We actively resist departmental silos and workplace politics. We prioritize company over team, and team over self. When things don’t feel right, we get curious, respectfully challenge, seek to understand and strive to get aligned.

Growing Telco Revenue
Trust

We build trust with our customers and coworkers when we deeply, take personal ownership, keep our commitments, consistently deliver excellent results, respect others, and act with integrity. We don’t hesitate to take on big projects or tackle big challenges – but none of us are above taking out the trash.

Growing Telco Revenue
Grit

When challenged, we rally, double down, increase our focus, and work with a sense of urgency. When things don’t go our way, we persevere, maintain a long-term perspective, and never give up. We view roadblocks and constraints as catalysts for resourcefulness, creativity, and innovation.

Growing Telco Revenue
Elevate Others

We help, support and inspire others to do their best work. We are kind. When team members need us, we show up. We care enough about each other to be candid and objective with our feedback. When individuals or teams are frustrated, we don’t commiserate – we work together to create solutions.
