Although the holiday season is over the Cerbos team still has one more occasion to celebrate. Alex Olivier has been promoted to the role of Chief Product Officer.

Alex is part of the founding team of Cerbos and has led product development from its initial release as an open-source authorization layer to the current offering of Cerbos Hub, the collaborative authorization management solution for writing, testing, and deploying access controls across apps and services.

Alex has spent his career designing enterprise solutions from the ground up as an engineer, consultant, tech lead, and product manager, always with an eye on the developer experience. At Microsoft, Qubit, Zencargo, and a myriad of startups, he designed platforms that helped teams move faster at scale, focusing on core components like authorization, data management, and security.

“Since joining Cerbos, Alex has been a pivotal force in our growth and success,” says CEO Emre Baran, “From coding to creating demos, pitching to clients, presenting at conferences, and representing us at numerous events, in every aspect, he has not just contributed but has led with vision and passion. Promoting Alex to CPO is our way of acknowledging that his contributions have been foundational to Cerbos. It is a recognition of the fact that his vision, dedication, and values are inseparable from the identity and future of our company.”
