About
Olivier Pomel co-founded Datadog in New York in 2010 and took it public on the Nasdaq in September 2019 at $27 a share; it joined the S&P 500 in 2025 and is now worth roughly $84 billion, with revenue running at about $4.5 billion a year and growing 36%. He met co- founder Alexis Lê-Quôc as an undergraduate at École Centrale Paris and worked beside him for nine years at Wireless Generation, where the friction between developers and operations gave them the idea for a monitoring platform that would serve both. He was also an original contributor to the open-source VLC media player.
