Cloud Carib, leading provider of sovereign cloud, managed IT, and cybersecurity services, today announced the appointment of Damian Blackburn as a non-executive director.
Blackburn brings decades of leadership in telecommunications and digital infrastructure across the Caribbean, Europe, and the Americas, including senior roles at ATNI International, ALIV, Digicel, and Virgin Mobile. He joins Cloud Carib as the company expands across the Caribbean and Latin America, including new Sovereign data center pods in Bermuda, Curacao and Guyana, coupled with increased regional team presence. With growing demand for sovereign cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity resilience, and digital modernization, Cloud Carib continues to bridge the gap between traditional telecommunications infrastructure and Sovereign, secure, locally governed cloud services delivered in compliance with leading security and data management frameworks.
“Damian’s deep understanding of regional telecom ecosystems, coupled with digital infrastructure investment and M&A, makes him an invaluable addition to our Board,” said Victor Kovacs, Chief Operating Officer of Cloud Carib. “His strategic insight into developing industry leadership while delivering mission-critical services across island markets directly aligns with our vision to empower Caribbean nations with sovereign, world-class cloud solutions.”
Throughout his career, Blackburn has demonstrated a unique ability to transform telecom operators into digitally-driven service providers. His experience leading fast-growth organizations and navigating complex investment models in scalable infrastructure environments will further strengthen Cloud Carib’s ability to deliver secure, compliant, and resilient cloud services tailored to the needs of governments, financial institutions, and enterprises across the Caribbean.
“Cloud Carib is at the forefront of a critical shift in the region’s digital evolution,” said Blackburn. “As Caribbean nations and enterprises demand greater data sovereignty, security, and performance, the convergence of telecom infrastructure and sovereign cloud capabilities becomes essential. I am excited to support Cloud Carib in accelerating this transformation and expanding its regional impact.”
Cloud Carib’s continued investment in regional data centers with recent additions in Bermuda, Curacao and Guyana, cybersecurity capabilities, and strategic partnerships has positioned the company as a trusted digital infrastructure partner for the Caribbean. Blackburn’s appointment reinforces the company’s commitment to strong governance, strategic expansion, and long-term sustainable growth.
