About Olivier Pomel

Olivier Pomel is the CEO of Datadog, a cloud monitoring company he cofounded with Alexis L?-Qu?c, the firm's chief technology officer, in 2010.

Datadog listed on the Nasdaq in September 2019, raising nearly $650 million and nabbing a $10.9 billion market cap on its first day of trading.

Pomel and L?-Qu?c became billionaires in May 2020 after a blockbuster earnings release sent shares soaring; Pomel owns 4% of Datadog shares.

The French natives met while undergraduates at Ecole Centrale Paris, where both received Master's degrees in computer science.

Before building Datadog, the duo worked together at New York-based firm Wireless Generation, which was acquired by News Corp in 2010.
