Marc-aurèle Brothier is an experienced cloud and infrastructure leader with over a decade building secure, cost-efficient platforms and teams across fintech and cloud-native services. He has led large transformations—designing multi-tenant, RBAC-enabled architectures and migrating to immutable infrastructure while cutting AWS costs by nearly half at Pix4D—and helped banks adopt containerized software factories with Consul, Vault and Nomad. A pragmatic engineer-manager, he combines deep hands-on work (Apache CloudStack contributor, Exoscale/docker-machine driver maintainer) with people leadership, incident response and governance responsibilities. His background spans low-level networking, security and usability through to product-facing systems, driven by a lifelong curiosity about every layer between code and end user. Twice circumnavigating the globe, he brings cross-cultural perspective and a taste for stepping outside comfort zones to creative problem solving. Based in Lausanne, he advises startups on portfolio visualization and platform strategy while continuing to contribute to open-source cloud tooling.
