OUR STORY

Hi, I’m Justin Trent,
CEO of Cloudbox

When Olly Potgieter and I founded Cloudbox in 2011, we had a bold vision: radically improve IT for the financial sector. With a combined two decades of experience in our previous venture, we’d witnessed the daily tech challenges firms like yours face. We knew there had to be a better way.

We started Cloudbox with a fresh approach. 100% public cloud focused since day one. This was our commitment to delivering you the most flexible, scalable, and secure solutions possible. From our roots in South Africa, we’ve expanded globally, now serving 150+ clients across the globe.

But what truly sets us apart? Our people. Every Cloudbox team member brings 8+ years of expertise and genuine commitment to your success. We jump in, we own it, we care. There’s no challenge we haven’t seen (and solved).

When you choose Cloudbox, you’re not just getting top-tier security & technology support. You gain a team that understands the nuances of your industry, speaks your language, and always makes you feel like you’re in good hands.

Let’s build something extraordinary together. After all, your success is our success.
