Summary
Sébastien Braun is a seasoned solutions engineering leader with 13+ years designing and deploying IP, cloud and security architectures across telcos, banks and large enterprises. He has blended hands‑on infrastructure work (Sun, Inktomi, his own e‑commerce startup) with product and go‑to‑market roles at Barracuda, VMware, Mirantis and Google, and now steers regional strategy and technical adoption at HashiCorp. His expertise spans HashiCorp’s stack (Terraform, Vault, Consul, Nomad), OpenStack/private cloud, VMware NSX, and cloud providers, plus practical DevOps automation from bare metal to containers. Known for turning complex network and security requirements into repeatable, scalable solutions, he brings both academic rigor in stochastic mathematics and an operator’s pragmatism to cloud transformation programs. An unexpected thread: he moved early from running a LAMP-based e‑commerce platform to deploying cloud nodes in 2010, showing a long track record of adopting emerging infrastructure technologies.
