In 2023, Clever Cloud has once again made great strides, with a significant increase in its turnover. Having recently passed the 60-strong mark, the company is welcoming new profiles to support its development, and is expanding its Management Committee.

Clever Cloud, French creator of deployment and hosting solutions in PaaS (Platform as a Service) mode, announces a series of strategic appointments and recruitments to continue and amplify its growth. In 2023, Clever Cloud has once again made great strides, with a significant increase in its turnover. Having recently passed the 60-strong mark, the company is welcoming new profiles to support its development, and is expanding its Management Committee.

Jean-Baptiste Piacentino has taken on the role of Vice-President in charge of alliances. He oversees strategic, technical and institutional partnerships, public relations and our commitment to data sovereignty.

David Legrand, who has been in charge of Clever Cloud’s hardware solutions since March 2022, is now Vice-President in charge of the product. After helping to set up our last three points of presence in Paris, he will ensure that the development of our new software and hardware solutions remains in line with our customers’ expectations and our trademark high standards, in liaison with the technical teams led by our CTO, Steven Le Roux.

Clever Cloud’s development is also marked by strategic recruitments:

  • Jérôme Guerrier joins the team as Sales Director, bringing valuable expertise to drive sales growth and strengthen customer relations. With 18 years’ experience in telecoms and payment solutions, he brings his know-how to bear on development initiatives both in Europe and internationally.
  • Horacio Gonzalez joins the company as Vice President, Developer Relations (DevRel). He plays a crucial role in strengthening ties with this community, which continues to be an essential part of the Clever Cloud ecosystem. After a technical career, Horacio went on to become DevRel and then DevRel Director for OVHcloud, making him one of the leading figures in the French IT community.
  • Last but not least, the forthcoming arrival of a Human Resources Director will support the integration of the company’s many employees, while preserving the corporate culture to which the teams are so attached.
