About Me

Born in Poland in 1975, Octave Klaba arrived in France at the age of 16, not speaking a word of French. Passionate about computer science, he earned a computer science degree from ICAM Lille in 1999, and at the same time, created OVH for one simple reason: no provider was able to meet his expectations! 20 years later, Octave is still working on growing his business from his base in Roubaix, France. Octave Klaba is a member and the Chairman of the Strategic and ESG Committee. Octave Klaba is a member of the Nomination, Remuneration and Governance Committee.
