Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCyrille Le Clerc is a product and engineering leader with 16 years building observability, CI/CD and cloud-native products, currently shaping OpenTelemetry demos and adoption at Grafana Labs and OpenTelemetry. He blends hands-on OSS development—contributions to Jenkins plugins and OpenTelemetry Java instrumentation—with strategic product launches like Grafana Application Observability and BYOC. Known for turning open standards into repeatable enterprise offerings, he has driven Prometheus and OpenTelemetry integrations that streamline onboarding and scale sales motions. A former director at Elastic and long tenure at CloudBees, he pairs deep technical credibility (Jenkins, JMXTrans, Apache CXF) with go-to-market execution. Based in Paris, he routinely codes at night, bringing practical engineering judgment to product strategy. An engineer by training from Télécom Paris, he often surfaces subtle operational fixes (e.g., throttling/workaround improvements) that materially improve production reliability.
