Benjamin Revcolevschi Named AWS France’s New Managing Director

Benjamin Revcolevschi announced on his LinkedIn profile that he has been named Managing Director of AWS France.

His tenure at OVHcloud was brief. He had joined the Roubaix-based group in May 2024 as deputy chief executive, before stepping up to succeed Michel Paulin a few months later as head of the company.

His spell at OVHcloud’s helm was short, as the growth trajectory slowed and founder Octave Klaba reassumed day-to-day operational leadership.

Previously, Revcolevschi built his career across several large technology and telecom names, taking on senior leadership roles at Neuf Cegetel/SFR, Fujitsu and DXC Technology.

Julien Grouès led AWS France until early 2026. He was replaced in January by Anish Desai, who at that time was named Managing Director France & Southern Europe. Nine months later, Benjamin Revcolevschi succeeded him as head of AWS France, with a start date announced for September 8, 2026.
