CloudBees Inc.

I mean, I speak often to Mark Waite, who's one of the Jenkins maintainers.

Even though he's retired from CloudBees, he still does that work.

And they basically say if they do any kind of a hackathon, that they can't keep up with the PRs.

That the amount of gen code coming into these open source projects is sort of ridiculous, to be honest.

Can you tell us who they are and about their decision to make downtown Denver one of their new homes?

Sure, so CloudBees is a tech company.

They kind of do the sort of the backend.

So when you get, when a company has to push out updates for its software, This is a company that provides some of that whole body experience of, you know, testing it out for security issues, stuff like that.

He likes the accessibility to things, likes the local community.

And he actually moved here years ago, so probably in 2018 or 2019.

So, and had worked for the company because he sold his old company to CloudBees.

But

so it was really around that time.

And then a year, no, two years ago, it eventually got acquired back into CloudBees, um, uh-

It, it eventually what?

The company was acquired back into CloudBees, which is where I, you know, used to serve-

Oh, right

... as CTO.

We knew people, each other, and so kind of, you know, in hindsight, it wasn't how I planned, but in hindsight, it makes sense that they, you know, they see the, the value in impacting us more than anybody else in the space was.

Yeah.

And we're going to be interviewing...

Mo Plasnig, CEO of CloudBees, who just took over three months ago from a previous job.

And we're looking forward to finding out where CloudBees is going to be intersecting with AI, like every other software company in the world.

And Mo, welcome to our interview.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Mo and I are both... descendants of Austrian families.

So we can talk about that family connection another time.

So Mo, tell us a little bit about yourself, where you've been since you were with CloudBees earlier.
