CloudBees names Moritz Plassnig chief executive officer

CloudBees named Moritz Plassnig its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, replacing Anuj Kapur. The change matters because it set new leadership for how the company operates and how it addresses governed software delivery in an environment where AI-generated code is increasingly part of development.

CloudBees framed the timing around the shift from writing code to governing what reaches production as enterprises adopt agentic coding. It said its customer base includes software and technology companies, financial institutions, governments, and critical infrastructure providers.

In Plassnig’s role, CloudBees pointed to its governance layer that supports setting policy, managing risk, and maintaining control over how software is built, secured, and released across every tool in a customer’s stack, not only CloudBees’ tools. The company also said its Unify offering functions as a flexible, AI-powered context and control plane and that changes by humans or AI are made visible, auditable, and accountable.

Plassnig is the founder of Codeship, which CloudBees acquired in 2018, and he returned to CloudBees to assume leadership; the company also said he joined the Board of Directors. “Software development is on the brink of its own revolution,” said Moritz Plassnig, CEO of CloudBees. “Enterprises are under pressure to adopt agentic coding without losing control, and that requires oversight, auditability, and humans in the loop.” Sacha Labourey said, “Agentic coding fundamentally changes what enterprises need from us, and CloudBees will change just as radically.”

Forward-looking statements were not included; the company said Plassnig will engage with customers in the coming weeks.
