Cloudflare unveils plans on France maiden office to support growing European operations

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company, has announced that Paris, France, will be the home of its fourth office in Europe, to further support its growing European operations.

Paris represents a growing Cloudflare team and presence in Europe, following the company’s European headquarters in London and offices in Munich, Germany and Lisbon, Portugal.

According to a statement, Cloudflare’s Paris-based team will help the company grow brand awareness, support and acquire customers, and recruit new talent.

As part of the announcement, Cloudflare is welcoming its first Head of France, Boris Lecoeur, a seasoned regional leader with more than two decades of industry experience in software and technology, who will lead this new office and team.

“With a team based in Paris, we're committed to this growing business landscape, being closer to our customers as well as expanding our business in the region,” said Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive officer, Matthew Prince.

Today, Cloudflare’s network currently spans 78 cities in the EMEA region, including three cities in France. Cloudflare first invested in France when it expanded its network into Paris in 2011, just eight months after launching the company.

Now with data centres spanning more than 200 cities in over 100 countries, the company continues to grow its presence to be even closer to Internet-connected users everywhere.
