One of the first female executives at a Silicon Valley cloud company is a former engineer from France who understands she doesn’t look — or sound — like most of her colleagues.

Egnyte, which provides cloud storage services for the likes of Ikea and Red Bull, announced Tuesday that Isabelle Guis will be the company’s new chief strategy officer.

That makes Guis one of the first and few C-level female executives in cloud computing. Though many such companies are relatively young operations, analyst Rob Enderle said a company’s youth is no indicator of its approach to diversity.
