Olivier Lange is the founder and managing-director of Le Petit Atelier de Génie logiciel, a software consultancy helping teams to accelerate their development processes and evolve legacy systems. We provide advisory, business analysis and do craft ad hoc software — we build full-fledged apps, mostly business intelligence or data lineage monitoring dashboards, fill functional gaps and move complex datasets between systems. Over the course of 18 years, we realized 130 assignments, ranging from 3 days to 24 months, for small and medium businesses, private and public institutions in Switzerland, France and Luxembourg— such as Lombard Odier TBI & Asset Management, Radio Television Suisse-romande (RTS), Office fédéral des routes (OFROU), HEI, Pro Helvetia, University of Geneva. Next to our assignments, we run weekly and yearly code retreats, to step aside and take time, to research, learn and practice advanced subjects and pioneering technologies. We're currently focusing on reactive data flows, graph databases and visualizations of complex linked-data structures and multi-layered graphs. Join us at our Gōng-fu I/O weekly hack sessions — you'll find other like-minded « data-nauts! »

Sacha Labourey

Sacha was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and graduated in 1999 from EPFL. It was during Sacha’s studies in 1996 that he started his first consulting business - Cogito Informatique. In 2001, he joined Marc Fleury’s JBoss project as a core contributor and implemented JBoss’ original clustering features. In 2003, Sacha founded the European headquarters for JBoss and, as GM for Europe, led the strategy and partnerships that helped fuel the company’s growth in that region. While in this position, he led the recruitment of some of JBoss’ key talent and acquisition of key technology. In 2005, he was appointed CTO of JBoss, Inc. and as such, oversaw all of the JBoss engineering activities. In June 2006, JBoss, Inc. was acquired by Red Hat (NYSE:RHT). After the acquisition, Sacha remained JBoss CTO and played a crucial role in integrating and productizing JBoss software with Red Hat offerings. In 2007, Sacha became co-General Manager of Red Hat’s middleware division. He ultimately left Red Hat in April 2009. Following a period of research, Sacha became convinced that public cloud infrastructure would lead a fundamental IT paradigm shift and that middleware would play a key role in that shift. As a result CloudBees, Inc. was formed in April 2010.
