Nantes, France - Clever Cloud, French creator of Platform as a Service (PaaS) hosting and deployment solutions, announced today its intention to expand internationally, with a particular focus on the African and South Asian markets.

Countries in these international zones wish to ensure strong data sovereignty as part of their digital growth.

As part of this ambitious strategy, the company is pleased to welcome Erwan Rougeux, who joins the management team as Vice President International Growth.

With ten years’ international experience as CTO, Erwan Rougeux will bring his expertise, knowledge of geopolitics and network all around the world to guide Clever Cloud’s growth into new territories.

We’re delighted to welcome Erwan to Clever Cloud. His appetite for technical subjects, his in-depth knowledge of the countries in which we wish to expand, and our shared values will be invaluable assets in our growth strategy. This represents a major step in the development of our company“, says Quentin Adam, CEO of Clever Cloud.

I’m delighted to be joining Clever Cloud as Vice President International Growth. After more than 10 years’ experience in French institutions abroad, I’m determined to keep working for digital sovereignty and to offer a European alternative to GAFAM thanks to an innovative, secure, and data-friendly cloud. My humanist values, perfectly in line with Quentin Adam’s strategy, will enable us to create synergy in host countries, to catalyze local projects and talents to support digital transformations and our international development“, declares Erwan Rougeux.

A growth strategy that respects sovereignty

Clever Cloud’s strategy involves creating and fostering partnerships with local players, as well as calling on local talent and acculturating them to its Cloud platform. It is essential for Clever Cloud to adapt to the cultures of host countries, and to provide local administrators and companies with the keys to support their strategic autonomy and data sovereignty.

The company aims to open its first international office in the second half of this year,.
