THE VALUES OF OVHCLOUD AND ITS TEAM MEMBERS
OVHcloud is not just a cloud provider; it’s a human-centered adventure built on essential values embraced by its employees worldwide: trust, teamwork, passion, disruption, and responsibility. These principles are the foundation that keeps the company aligned with its community while delivering the best for its clients.
TRUST AS A CORNERSTONE
At OVHcloud, trust is more than just a guiding principle; it’s the foundation of the company’s culture. “Trust enables our teams to work well together and helps create a strong, meaningful team spirit” emphasizes OVHcloud. This ethos is reflected in a work environment where employees can thrive and find meaning in their contributions. Trust empowers OVHcloud’s teams to collaborate effectively and work every day as a strong collective.
Transparency is another key element of this trust, reflected in the company’s commitments and results. This transparency enables OVHcloud to build trust between the clients and its teams. Furthermore, OVHcloud ensure that its clients have clear access to their data, enabling secure and confident data management.
TEAM SPIRIT: GROWING TOGETHER
Another core value at OVHcloud is teamwork. “Alone we go faster, together we go further” sums up Magali de Labareyre, Tech Talent Acquisition Manager at OVHcloud. “Team spirit inspires everything we do. It allows us to work and grow together.” Collaboration is one of the strengths of OVHcloud, enabling it to stay at the forefront of innovation. It empowers employees to tackle technological challenges with expertise and achieve ambitious projects.
Beyond professional accomplishments, teamwork also fosters a more human-centric workplace. Because “working together also means allowing each individual to express her or his singular nature” says OVHcloud. The company actively promotes inclusion and diversity throughout its teams worldwide, with initiatives such as the “Fresque de la diversité” in France, a training workshop which raises awareness of unconscious biases and stereotypes. These efforts cultivate a robust team spirit encouraging well-being and innovation.
PASSION: A COLLECTIVE DRIVER
Is it possible to innovate without passion? At OVHcloud, the answer is clear: the team’s passion for new technologies drives the company forward. Passion fuels creativity, motivates people to push their boundaries, and helps develop groundbreaking solutions that advance the cloud industry.
Magali de Labareyre notes that during recruitment interviews, she looks for evidence of passion in candidates. “What truly sets someone apart, beyond their experience and the companies they’ve worked for, is the passion they convey during the interview”, she explains. “We’ve hired many talented individuals who didn’t have the most conventional resume but stood out because of their enthusiasm.”
“The great advantage at OVHcloud is that we have a large variety of roles, each one fascinating” continues Stéphane Philippart, a Developer Advocate. “What’s consistent is our curiosity and love of being in motion,” he adds. OVHcloud firmly believes that the passion of its teams is one of the keys to its success. That is why the company pay close attention to the ideas of his employees. Fanny Bouton is well aware of that. She is the one who proposed launching a quantum project at OVHcloud when she joined OVHcloud in 2020 at the head of the Startup Program. “I could have been ignored, but instead, I was told, “This is interesting” and given the green light” she recalls. This collective energy fuels the company’s ability to deliver high-quality, innovative products that meet client needs.
DISRUPTION: SHAPING TOMORROW’S SOLUTIONS
At OVHcloud, disruption means rethinking the norm, embracing new approaches, and stepping outside comfort zones to create tomorrow’s solutions. This mindset keeps OVHcloud competitive in a rapidly evolving sector. The company fosters an open, collaborative culture where new ideas are encouraged and tested swiftly.
OVHcloud aims not just to meet clients’ current needs but also to anticipate their future demands. That is why OVHcloud is investing in research and cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence. “Disruption is what frees us to go further and further, and ultimately simplifies working together” says OVHcloud.
RESPONSIBILITY: BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
Responsibility is another cornerstone of OVHcloud’s values. In a sector where ecological impact is a major concern, OVHcloud prioritizes measuring and minimizing its footprint. “With great innovation comes great responsibility” the company asserts, emphasizing its dedication to activities that benefit all.
For over 20 years, OVHcloud has championed sustainable practices, not just within its operations but also by encouraging its clients to adopt ethical and responsible behaviors. The company’s white paper outlines four pillars to enhance sustainability and achieve carbon neutrality. OVHcloud also openly communicate regularly and in full transparence to show its improvement in these areas.
One standout example of this commitment is OVHcloud’s watercooling technology, developed in 2003, which significantly reduces the environmental impact of its data centers. This innovative spirit, combined with a sense of responsibility, enables OVHcloud’s teams to create solutions that transform the cloud industry.
