Announcement of DataDome's Co-Founder Benjamin Fabre as CEO—written by DataDome Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board of Directors Fabien Grenier.
As co-founders of DataDome, Benjamin Fabre and I built the company on the mission to free the web from fraudulent traffic, so that sensitive data remains safe and online platforms can perform at optimum speed. We are honored to protect enterprises around the globe from malicious bots and automated threats.
At DataDome, we believe that our core value of customer centricity has contributed to our steady success. With an average monthly customer retention rate of 99.3% and a net promoter score of 73, our team is as dedicated to nurturing our customer relationships as we are to optimizing our products and expanding our global footprint.
Another core value at DataDome is growth, and I’m proud to share that in 2021 alone, we doubled our revenue and our headcount! Also in 2021, DataDome’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Benjamin Fabre moved to New York to support our expansion in the US (our fastest growing market).
After a truly epic year of growth, considering our organizational objectives and trajectory, DataDome’s leadership team has decided that now is the right time to be led from the US.
So, without further ado…
I am thrilled to announce that we have decided to appoint Benjamin Fabre to Chief Executive Officer. I am so proud of DataDome’s tremendous growth and accomplishments, and have the utmost confidence in Benjamin to lead DataDome into the future.
As Benjamin takes the helm as CEO, I will continue to serve as Chairman of DataDome’s Board of Directors in a full advisory capacity to the extended C-suite. I am fully committed to championing DataDome, and I can’t wait for the next steps in the company’s evolution.
Please join me in congratulating Benjamin, as well as Gilles Walbrou, formerly our Vice President of Engineering, who will now be DataDome’s Chief Technology Officer!
