Senior🎓
Top SchoolDamien Pacaud is a seasoned CTO with two decades of engineering leadership and 13 years in senior technical roles, currently leading technology at Indy from Greater Paris. He has built and scaled global teams—up to 150 people across Europe, APAC, LATAM and China—while driving product-centric transformations, cloud migrations and infrastructure automation for high-throughput services. His background spans startups to scaleups and large SaaS/infra firms (Spendesk, Datadog, Teads, QIMA), consistently improving reliability, resilience and operational efficiency including measurable SLAs and incident reduction. Damien combines strategic budget and vendor management with hands-on delivery of systems at scale (billions of monthly users, millions of transactions per second) and early adoption of Generative AI and smart automation in business operations. He’s equally comfortable mentoring first-time managers and negotiating multi-million dollar investments, and has a track record of turning legacy setups into automated, cost-conscious cloud platforms. Educated in computer science (Oxford Brookes, SUPINFO), he brings a pragmatic blend of technical depth and cross-cultural leadership forged through frequent work across Asia and Europe.
