About the appointment
Arnaud de Bermingham: "It is a great pleasure to welcome Yann as co-pilot of the company to help us conquer new markets; his experience as an entrepreneur, thus as a big consumer of cloud solutions, gives him a deep knowledge of the complex needs raised by our customers, both startups and large groups."
Thomas Reynaud, CEO of the Iliad Group: "The Iliad Group has great ambitions for its subsidiary Scaleway at a time when the cloud market is growing steadily, both in France and abroad. Yann's appointment as CEO allows us to strengthen the management team in order to reinforce the offer to our customers and to build talent loyalty in an industry where very high value-added software will make the difference".
Yann Lechelle: “Arnaud and his team have created and developed Scaleway into a technological gem, one of the few European cloud players able to answer the full spectrum of customers' cloud needs, with cost control. From entry-level to high-end solutions, from datacenter to dedicated servers, many Scaleway products are compatible with technologies from dominant, non-sovereign players. Nothing prevents European cloud providers, including Scaleway, from providing at least 30% of European cloud needs, and conversely, up to 30% of US and Asian needs. My roadmap is obvious enough."
