Gilles Fedak is CEO & co-founder of iExec: Blockchain-based Decentralized Cloud Computing. We issued the RLC token (listed on coinmarketcap) and realized the first major ICO in France on April 19th, 2017, raising 10.000 Bitcoins (equivalent to 12.5 million USD) in less than 3 hours. iExec builds a decentralized market place for computing resources using the Ethereum blockchain. The first version of the product released in November 2017 allows Ethereum Dapps a scalable, secure and affordable access for their off-chain computations.

Before that, I was a permanent INRIA research scientist at ENS-Lyon, France (Homepage: http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~gfedak/). After receiving my Ph.D degree from University Paris Sud in 2003, I followed a postdoctoral fellowship at University California San Diego. I produced pioneering software and algorithms in the field of Grid and Cloud Computing that allow people to easily harness large parallel systems consisting of thousands of machines distributed on the Internet (XtremWeb, MPICH-V, BitDew, SpeQulos, Xtrem-MapReduce, Active Data, …). I co-authored more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers and won two Best Paper awards. In 2012, I co-edited with C. Cérin the Desktop Grid Computing Book, (CRC publication). In 2015, I received the Chinese Academy of Sciences PIFI Award.
