Alain Hélaïli EMEA Field CTO & Sr. Dir. Solutions Engineering, GitHub

Alain Hélaïli is the Field CTO for the EMEA region at GitHub, based in Paris. With more than ten years at GitHub, Alain has had a front-row seat to one of the most consequential shifts in the history of software engineering — from the rise of open source collaboration to the emergence of AI as a core part of the developer workflow. That long-arc perspective shapes how he advises organizations across EMEA on harnessing technology to build better software, faster. Before GitHub, he held roles at MongoDB, Dynatrace, and BEA Systems.
