Randy Bias is the Co-founder and CTO of CloudScaling. A well known specialist in IT infrastructure, Randy was also the lead innovator in implementing infrastructure-as-a-service at GoGrid. Later on, in 2008 GoGrid launched its beta version of its public cloud.

At CloudScaling, Randy implemented a number of large scale cloud primarily based on an unscathed code, the OpenStack. Some of these implementations included KT, Korea’s largest cloud service and Internap, a big data services provider.
