Cheops Technology, a leading integrator and cloud hosting provider, has announced the appointment of Charles Henry as its new Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Directeur Général Délégué). Henry, who was previously the Sales Director at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) France, brings nearly two decades of experience at the company, having started as an intern 17 years ago. His recent role placed him on the management committee of HPE France, where he served for nearly two years before deciding to leave.
This strategic recruitment aims to strengthen Cheops Technology’s corporate governance and accelerate the implementation of its key strategic priorities. Charles Henry succeeds Yves Pellemans, who announced his departure from the group last week after eighteen months in the position.
A seasoned leader joining Cheops Technology

His appointment at Cheops Technology is seen as a significant move to boost the company’s operational leadership and support its growth ambitions.
Cheops Technology has been actively expanding its footprint in cloud services and managed services, achieving notable growth over recent years.

Looking ahead
With Charles Henry’s arrival, Cheops Technology signals its intent to continue on a trajectory of substantial development, reinforcing its position in the French IT landscape while preparing to further expand its reach across Europe.
