Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancois Aichelbaum is a seasoned technology executive and founder with 13 years of experience helping CEOs and executive teams tame runaway costs, scale architectures, and fix delivery and organizational friction. As Founder & CEO of Privateer he delivers fast, diagnosis-in-days interventions and then stays on to support decision-making and implementation across roles from fractional CTO/CIO to turnaround task forces. His background spans building global, low-latency infrastructures (api.video, Exegy, Enyx) and leading cloud and security transformations where measurable outcomes—like a 67% reduction in R&D infrastructure costs—were achieved without harming SLAs. He pairs hands-on engineering (from OpenStack and multi-cloud migrations to anti-DDoS platforms) with product sensibility learned building distinctive, simple cloud offerings at Oxeva. Based in Angers, he also invests operationally through Kobayashi Capital and mentors the next generation via OpenClassrooms, reflecting a blend of operator grit, strategic judgement, and teaching-minded stewardship. An often-overlooked strength is his talent for turning strict regulatory or latency constraints into competitive advantages rather than mere constraints.
