CloudBees CEO and leadership

Sacha Labourey is co-founder and chief strategy officer at CloudBees, the enterprise software delivery company. CloudBees provides the industry’s leading DevOps technology platform that enables developers to focus on what they do best: Build stuff that matters. Sacha has been an active leader in open source software for twenty years, with roles ranging from development to integration to partnerships. A native of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, he learned to found a business by launching his own consulting firm while still working toward his Master's degree in computer science from Swiss science and technology university EPFL.

Sacha was a core contributor to Marc Fleury’s JBoss project, implementing its original clustering features. When JBoss became a business, he founded JBoss’ European headquarters in 2003 and served as GM for Europe and then CTO. Red Hat acquired both JBoss and Sacha in 2006, making him GM of their middleware division.

Sacha established CloudBees’ work-anywhere approach from the start, a decade before most companies were forced to make the leap. He works from Neuchâtel, where he lives with his wife, daughter and two cats - Nestor, who rules the house, and Tricotine, who is über smart and agile (but not as in development!). It was from Neuchâtel that he founded CloudBees with François Déchery in 2010. Sacha is proud of having hired the best Bees around the world, wherever they choose to live.
