Career Profile

I’m Nicolas Brousse, a seasoned Engineering and Operations Leader with deep expertise in cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, private). As TubeMogul’s sixth employee, I spearheaded infrastructure scaling from inception to support ±350 billion daily real-time bid requests, enabling a successful IPO and subsequent acquisition by Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE).

I previously directed a global team of SREs, cloud/software/security engineers, and database architects, ensuring 24/7 uptime for Adobe Advertising Cloud through a DevOps approach. My proven track record includes optimizing operations, delivering complex integrations, and achieving rapid compliance while managing multimillion-dollar budgets.

I’m a sought-after speaker at top U.S. tech conferences (SRECon, LISA, IEEE), the author of Shell-Tips!, and with prior experience managing high-traffic, large-scale platforms at MultiMania, Lycos, and Kewego.
