NASSAU, The Bahamas, October 14, 2026 — Cloud Carib, the Caribbean’s premier provider of sovereign cloud, sovereign AI and cybersecurity services, is celebrating its 15th anniversary. Founded in the fall of 2011 by technology entrepreneur Stelios Xeroudakis and Bahamian business owner Alana Wheaton, the company has grown into a regional enterprise with nearly 100 staff, serving governments, financial institutions, and enterprises across The Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica, Curaçao, Guyana, Suriname, Panama, and beyond.
When Cloud Carib marked its first decade in 2021, it reflected on its mission to make enterprise-grade technology services more accessible in the region. Today, it focuses on helping Caribbean organizations keep critical data and systems secure, resilient, and under local control as they pursue true data sovereignty. The company has also contributed to public internet infrastructure and education.
“When we launched our Caribbean cloud solutions in 2012, customers asked us where their data would live. Fifteen years on, the question is bigger: who operates the service, which laws can reach it, and what happens if a supplier relationship changes. Cloud Carib to help organizations answer all three, while keeping the best of global technology within reach,” said Stelios Xeroudakis, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Cloud Carib.
Cloud Carib’s established infrastructure spans The Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Panama, Ecuador and Canada. More recently, it has deployed sovereign cloud pods in Bermuda and Guyana and expanded capacity in Curaçao. Its client environments receive round-the-clock support from Command-and-Control Centers in The Bahamas and Greece. In 2025, the company invested more than US$7 million in infrastructure, research and development, talent and regional partnerships. The company’s priorities are to deepen local partnerships, develop technical talent and expand its infrastructure. The aim is to give organisations more choice over where their critical systems are located, how they are operated and how they are recovered.
That growth rests on a substantial technical team. Cloud Carib has reported more than 45 engineers with over 400 certifications across 60 technologies. Its published credentials include ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27017 certification, SOC 2 Type II compliance, and CSA STAR Level 2 status. The company has also earned Palo Alto Networks NextWave Platinum Innovator status and repeated Partner of the Year award recognition from Veeam, VMware, CyberArk, Oracle, and Cisco.
Partnerships have also been central to their recent expansion. Cloud Carib is working with Gaia-X to advance a federated Caribbean digital ecosystem and launched the Gaia-X Caribbean Hub in 2026. Through its partnership with Brava Solutions, Cloud Carib is helping modernize and manage data center infrastructure in Bermuda, with collaboration extending to Guyana and the Cayman Islands.
“Building regional digital resilience takes collaboration. Our work with Blue NAP Americas, Brava and other partners connects local infrastructure and expertise so more Caribbean organizations can operate with confidence and control,” said Victor Kovacs, Chief Operating Officer of Cloud Carib.
Over the past five years, Cloud Carib has also contributed to regional conversations on data sovereignty, cybersecurity, business continuity and the responsible adoption of AI. Through industry forums, public discussions and educational events, its leaders have shared practical approaches to protecting critical systems and building technology capacity within the Caribbean.
Cloud Carib’s community work has grown alongside the business. Its longstanding support for the Bahamas Engineering and Technology
Advancement (BETA) Camp has helped young Bahamians explore STEM through practical learning. Cloud Carib’s internship programme gives young Caribbean talent hands-on experience alongside its technical teams, helping the next generation build the skills and confidence to shape the region’s digital future. Cloud Carib has also supported opportunities for girls and young women in technology, hosted student career activities and partnered on community initiatives such as blood drives with the Public Hospitals Authority and Christmas Celebrations for Children’s Homes in the region.
“When we started Cloud Carib, we hoped to help build a technology industry here in The Bahamas. Supporting young people as they discover what they can do in this field remains one of the most meaningful parts of our journey,” said Alana Wheaton, Vice President of Administration at Cloud Carib.
As it enters its next chapter, Cloud Carib plans to continue developing regional infrastructure, AI capabilities and local talent. Its 15th anniversary recognizes the employees, clients, partners and communities that have helped turn a Bahamian startup into a global contributor to the Caribbean’s digital future.
