DIGITAL SCALE SAS

About DIGITAL SCALE SAS

Octave Klaba is a leading figure in European cloud computing and one of the most recognizable executives in France’s technology landscape. As the founder of OVH, he helped turn a family-built business into a major international cloud provider. He currently serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OVH Groupe SA, and market and governance disclosures also identify him as Chairman of Digital Scale SAS, a company included in the broader Klaba concert associated with OVHcloud’s shareholding structure. His career is closely tied to the creation and expansion of OVH, now OVHcloud, with a long-standing strategy centered on vertical integration, infrastructure control, and a strong positioning in trusted cloud services. Over time, he has overseen the group’s growth across Europe and internationally, supporting the scale-up of data centers, the industrialization of server capacity, and the diversification of the offering toward enterprises, public-sector clients, and large accounts. His role across several holding and governance entities reflects a deliberate structure designed to preserve long-term control, capital stability, and strategic continuity. Klaba is widely recognized for his expertise in digital infrastructure, cloud architecture, hyperscale hosting, and digital sovereignty issues. His leadership style is associated with industrial investment, continuous innovation, and hands-on oversight of critical assets. Recent disclosures show that he remains a reference shareholder and a key decision-making force in OVHcloud’s capital structure, including through Digital Scale SAS within the family and entrepreneurial concert that supports the group. That position gives him lasting influence over strategy, governance, and value creation at OVH Groupe.
