Cloud Carib

What Cloud Carib does

Cloud Carib is a Bahamas-headquartered managed cloud services and cybersecurity provider founded in 2011 by Greek entrepreneur Stelios Xeroudakis alongside Bahamian co-founder Alana Wheaton. The company operates eight data centers across The Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport), Jamaica, Barbados, Bermuda, Panama, Ecuador, and Toronto, and serves government, financial services, healthcare, and legal clients across the Caribbean and Latin America. Its core platform combines sovereign cloud infrastructure (VMware-based virtualization with hardened Kubernetes and CEPH distributed storage), managed security services (SOC-as-a-Service, SIEM via LogRhythm, firewall management via Palo Alto Networks, privileged access management via CyberArk), disaster recovery, unified communications, and the locally-hosted Microsoft productivity suite Carib365. The proprietary Government-Grade Sovereign Cloud Framework supports Local Provider and On-Premises deployment models with zero-trust security and multi-tenant workload isolation.

Cloud Carib's go-to-market is primarily a direct enterprise field sales motion targeting regulated buyers that require in-jurisdiction data residency, supplemented by a partner ecosystem of more than 20 tier-one technology vendors (VMware, Cisco, Veeam, Red Hat, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, CyberArk, LogRhythm, Nextcloud, and others) and regional infrastructure partners such as Blue NAP Americas. Revenue is generated predominantly through subscription and recurring managed service contracts across five streams (Managed Cloud Services, Data Centre Services, Security & Business Continuity, Mobility & Productivity, and Professional Services), with annual enterprise billing and quote-based pricing. The company holds SOC 2 Type II, CSA STAR Level 2, ISO 27001/27017 alignment, and is the first Caribbean member of the VMware Sovereign Cloud Initiative.

Operationally, Cloud Carib employs more than 100 staff across multiple continents with 400+ certifications across 60 technologies, including a Kubestronaut-certified Lead Enterprise Architect. Leadership comprises CEO Scott MacKenzie, Founder & CTO Stelios Xeroudakis, COO Victor Kovacs (ex-Digicel), and Co-Founder & VP of Administration Alana Wheaton. The company secured growth financing from Partners for Growth in September 2025 and announced a $7M USD Caribbean digital sovereignty investment in March 2026 alongside the launch of the Gaia-X Caribbean Hub with Blue NAP Americas, signaling an accelerating push to entrench sovereign cloud across the Caribbean and adjacent Latin American markets.
