Nicolas is a firm believer of “culture-first” companies and am focused on building just that at Algolia where team empowerment is how they accomplish their goals. Prior to co-founding Algolia with Julien, he spent over 12 years working on information retrieval at Exalead and Thales.At Algolia they believe every website and app deserves greatsearch! they offer a hosted Search API that helps developers deliver an instant and relevant search experience. We’ve seen that search is a great touch point to optimize – they regularly see double digit increases in engagement on sites when they improve their search UX.When they founded Algolia in 2012 it was originally going to be a local SDK for mobile app search. They changed direction and realized that they needed to offer search as a hosted SaaS service, but it was those early mobile optimizations that gave us their unique advantage. They are one of the few search solutions that has been developed from scratch, and they never would have gone that direction if they hadn’t originally been focused on mobile search.His focus has been first and foremost on making Algolia a great place to work. They have a unique culture here that values ownership as its pillar. They want to create a company where every team member takes initiative, gets out of their comfort zone, is empowered to make decisions; in short: be free to be their best.He is recently spoken at SaaStock on the challenges of running a company based in both Paris and San Francisco. His priority lately has been on scaling their growth and ramping up their team size.

Alexis brings a strong focus on technical elegance and operational efficiency to Datadog, honed from years spent optimizing European telecom networks at Orange. As a member of the original “devops” movement, Alexis also spent several years as a software engineer at IBM Research and Neomeo in NYC. These experiences led Alexis to become acutely awareof how intertwined application development and operations really are, and how cumbersome existing on-premise and cloud monitoring tools were – offering little help for engineers to make sense of their infrastructure. Prior to founding Datadog, Alexis Lê-Quôc served as the Director of Operations for Wireless Generation where he built the team and infrastructure that served more than 4 million students in 49 states. Alexis holds a MS, CS from the Ecole Centrale Paris and has presented sessions on cloud monitoring and server performance at conferences including DevOpsDays, Velocity, and PyCon. Between researching new technical integrations and designing more efficient ways for devops teams to monitor their applications, Alexis enjoys running marathons around the world.
