Paul Stovell

CEO and Founder

About

I'm the founder and CEO of Octopus Deploy. I started Octopus in my spare time in 2011, and today it helps thousands of companies to automate their deployments, and employs 200+ wonderful people. My background is in software development, but the best part of running Octopus is all the different things I need to learn as the business grows.

Prior to Octopus Deploy, I worked for an investment bank building .NET applications, and before that I worked for Readify, an Australian .NET specialist consulting firm. I also worked on a number of open source projects and was an active user group presenter. I was a Microsoft MVP for Client Applications for about 5 years from 2006.
