European cloud and data center firm OVHcloud has appointed Benjamin Revcolevschi as CEO.

The company announced the news during its FY 2024 results this week, saying Michel Paulin resigned from his positions as director and CEO during a 23 October meeting.

Revcolevschi joined OVH in May 2024 as deputy chief executive officer to head up all of the group's operations, both in France and internationally.

After beginning his career at Boston Consulting Group, Revcolevschi held operational and business management positions at Neuf Cegetel/SFR before becoming managing director of Fujitsu in France, and head of France and Benelux for DXC Technology.

He said: “Being appointed as CEO of OVHcloud is both an exciting and demanding challenge. I would, of course, like to thank Octave, Michel, and the Board of Directors for their confidence in me. I look forward to defining and delivering, alongside our teams, a trajectory towards sustainable, profitable, and cash-generating growth.”

Outgoing CEO Paulin said: “After more than six wonderful years with OVHcloud, I decided a few months ago to step down from my position as CEO. Together with Octave and the Board of Directors, over the past few months, I have been supporting Benjamin in taking over this role.”

He continued: “As OVHcloud prepares to enter a new phase, it seemed essential to adapt its governance to ensure the successful execution of this long-term project. I would like to thank Octave, the whole Klaba family, the entire Executive Committee, the teams, and our customers, for their confidence over the years.”

Klaba, founder and chairman of OVHcloud, added: “I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Michel for all his work over these last few years. Michel has been a remarkable leader for OVHcloud and enables us today to begin this new phase with strong fundamentals. I am also delighted to welcome Benjamin as CEO. Since his arrival, Benjamin has demonstrated his leadership and his commitment to OVHcloud's values day after day. I am convinced that he will lead and shape the Group's future.”
