OVH's head of cloud customer services serves up talent and diversity talk over breakfast

LONDON - June 26, 2018 - PRLog -- The 9^th edition of Café Serré (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cafe-serre-9-with-thomas-wales-tickets-47217459693?aff=erelexpmlt), the series of events organised by French Tech London, will take place tomorrow, June 27^th, when OVH's (https://www.ovh.co.uk/) Head of Cloud Customer Service Thomas Wales will be sharing his views on Inclusion & Talent retention.

Wales has worked within the cloud industry for the past seven years, with the last year-and-a-half at OVH, Europe's largest cloud hosting provider. A highly influential figure in the LGBT+ community, he has worked with organisations and programmes such as the Leeds Freedom Bridge and Equal Marriage. His experience and background will make this informal chat a great opportunity to discuss hot topics such as diversity, gender equality and talent retention within the UK tech environment.

"I am very excited about the whole idea of a breakfast whist talking about my favourite topics," said Wales. "Diversity and gender equality in the tech industry is gathering tremendous momentum and I am delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this movement and keep that heading in the right direction. Talent management also remains a major challenge in our industry and I am convinced the more we talk about it and share ideas and experiences, the more we can help address that."

The event will take place at Business France UK (28-29 Haymarket, London, SW1Y 4SP) on June 27^th from 8.30 am until 11 am and coffee will be provided by CRU Kafe (https://www.crukafe.com/). Wales will join a prestigious list of previous guests which includes Russ Shaw (Tech London Advocates), Marie-Christine Levet (Educapital) or Philippe Rodriguez (Bitcoin France).
