title: Secure SaaS Delivery, Cloud & DevOps | base2Services | Arthur Marinis (2)
description: Arthur has spent the last 25 years establishing businesses from ideas. His passion for operational improvement and practicality in business has prompted him to become one of the leading faces of cloud computing. As CEO and Co-founder of base2Services he led the company to being the first to launch a DevOps as a Service on AWS offering in 2006 initially called Build Pipeline. Today, and many cloud implementations later, he is pushing the boundaries on how SaaS companies approach and manage a cloud environment. (2)
