Under new leadership, LuxCloud will continue to execute its vision and remain a leader in its respective markets.” The LuxCloud Board commented: “We would like to thank Marco for his valuable contribution to LuxCloud in the various capacities he has served. We are looking forward to sustaining the momentum that was created by Marco and the team.”

Joost Pisters who has been a key member of LuxCloud’s management team since 2011, was a driving force in improving its services ‘Ease of Use’ and ‘Ease of Access’, making the cloud easy to manage for cloud service providers. Continuing to make significant improvements, the company recently launched its channel activation tool, providing an end-to-end solution for onboarding Sales Partners, managing customers and using services.

“LuxCloud and the core ideas have grown to maturity and have become the foundation of a great future” said Joost Pisters. “I look forward to creating this future with our customers; building it on the work and vision established by Marco” Joost continued.

Investors and the board continue their full support of LuxCloud and have reinforced its position by proceeding with a new round of funding, securing € 1.1 million from existing investors. This provides the company with extra means to secure its market position and strengthen its offering.
