Fabrice de Salaberry CEO, Active Circle

Active Circle has appointed Fabrice de Salaberry as president and CEO.

The company has also finalized a financing of $2 million from a pool of investors including OTC Asset Management and Capricorn Venture Partners NV (Quest for Growth).

Active Circle is experiencing growth in both the media entertainment and the scientific and imaging market, fueled by the increasing demand for capacity to store video content and other large data sets such as satellite imagery.

 Prior to joining Active Circle, Fabrice de Salaberry held the COO position at Atempo, a provider of data protection and archiving solutions, where he headed worldwide operations, from R&D to Sales. Successively based in France and in Palo Alto, he was a key player in the transformation of Atempo from a regional backup software vendor to a global data management company. Atempo was acquired by ASG Software Solutions in 2011.

Earlier in his career, he was the sales director for France at Software AG, in business process management, where he was instrumental in the turnaround of the French subsidiary, executing the new diversification strategy.

Fabrice holds an MBA from HEC Paris and is a graduate of CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers).

"Over the last 3 years, through its innovative technology, Active Circle has successfully targeted the market for storing and archiving very large volumes of video content, images and scientific data. This market represents a unique opportunity for rapid growth, especially internationally. We will accelerate and industrialize our approach towards our integrator and OEM partners to enable them to offer their customers integrated solutions for managing and leveraging their digital assets," commented Fabrice de Salaberry.
