Biography

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

Datadog went public on the Nasdaq in 2019 and Pomel and Lê-Quôc became billionaires in 2020, after a blockbuster earnings release sent shares soaring.

Pomel and Lê-Quôc each own more than 2% of Datadog's common stock.

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.
