Oodrive, the trusted partner for sensitive data management, today announced the appointment of Stéphane Ankaoua as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and a member of the Group’s executive committee.
Accelerated growth and international expansion
Our 2020 goal is to be the European leader in sensitive data management and we are strengthening our governance to achieve this. Oodrive recently welcomed two new chief officers, CISO (Security) to define our information security governance, and a CHRO (Human Resources), to recruit and manage the best talent. Stéphane Ankaoua’s arrival as COO gives a new impetus to our growth and organization and will boost both individual and group performance.
“I’m delighted to welcome Stéphane Ankaoua to our executive committee. He brings key expertise and human qualities giving us a significant advantage in the next stages of our development”, said Stanislas de Rémur, CEO and co-founder of Oodrive.
Customer service excellence and the expansion of our partner ecosystem
In a French and European market both favorable to Oodrive’s continued expansion, delivering the best possible customer experience and the highest satisfaction levels remain our top priority. Our marketing, customer services, pre-sales and sales administration teams will therefore report directly to Stéphane Ankaoua. Since accelerating our growth in the international market is paramount, Stéphane will also be responsible for steering indirect sales in the development of strategic partnerships.

My aim is to leverage the best growth drivers with our teams, driving Oodrive’s international influence and consolidating its position as European leader for sensitive data management.”
