Cédric Brun is the CEO of Obeo, a company he first joined as an intern and has since helped grow into an international player in model-driven engineering. Throughout his career, he has focused on advancing modeling technologies to support the design, understanding, and evolution of complex systems in industrial contexts.

Active in the Eclipse community since 2006, he has contributed in multiple roles, including committer, project lead, and mentor. He notably led the creation of Eclipse Sirius, a widely adopted open-source framework that enables the development of domain-specific modeling tools used by engineers and researchers worldwide.

His work spans aerospace, defense, transportation, and other mission-critical domains, helping bridge academic advances in software language engineering with real-world adoption at scale. Today, his focus is on the next generation of modeling platforms, bringing languages closer to users through web-based, collaborative environments.
