Meet Our CEO & Founder
Dr. Janay Minich
Welcome to Allée & Co., I am delighted you're here!
With over twenty years of experience in corporate learning development and training, a Doctorate in Leadership Curriculum and Teaching, and hundreds of hours designing transformational learning experiences, I've dedicated my career to helping others achieve their goals. Allée & Co. was born from this passion—a dream that took shape in the early 2010s, inspired by my work alongside some of the industry's most talented professionals.
I was honored with awards in innovation and creativity, led seminars on 21st-century learning, and explored how neurodiversity strengthens problem-solving. But these milestones were only possible because of organizations that valued bold thinking and supported groundbreaking approaches.
Throughout my career, I've witnessed the remarkable potential that emerges when visionary organizations invest in transformational learning experiences. I've both contributed to and led exceptionally talented teams that consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible in learning and development, placing the modern learner at the heart of our innovation.
These collaborative experiences revealed a powerful truth: the most impactful solutions emerge when creative minds unite with shared purpose. Working with forward-thinking teams, we didn't just meet expectations—we redefined them, exploring immersive learning, disruptive technology, and storytelling approaches that transcended traditional compliance models.
This journey ignited something deeper: a passion for solving real business challenges I witnessed daily. I saw talented leaders battling low employee engagement as their teams disengaged from outdated training that failed to resonate. I watched organizations paralyzed by technology integration—eager to embrace AI and digital tools but uncertain how to implement them without disrupting workflows. Most frustratingly, I observed significant investments in learning initiatives without clear metrics to demonstrate ROI or performance improvements.
I knew what was possible. I'd seen leaders transform when confident in their capabilities, and witnessed what organizations could accomplish with cutting-edge learning strategies that addressed these exact pain points. I wanted to build something that would amplify this transformation—to help businesses bridge the gap between traditional training and the measurable outcomes their stakeholders demand.
This became my why.
Allée & Co. evolved into more than a business—it became my mission to create a company that equips organizations with the knowledge, skills, and creativity to transform learning from an annual obligation into a continuous driver of engagement, seamless technology integration, and measurable business impact.
Today, we're building teams and partnerships obsessed with proving that learning can be the competitive advantage that changes everything—with the data to back it up.
Looking forward to partnering with you on this transformational journey,
Dr. Janay Minich
CEO | Founder of Allée & Co.
