Martin Verges, CEO at croit
Martin Verges is the CEO of croit. He started learning software development at the age of 11 with Borland Turbo Pascal in 1994. As a young internet pioneer, he developed websites, shop systems and software of all types for customers from 1997. In 2001, he set up his first hosting company “Server Networks”, which was re-named “Digitallabs Network GmbH” in 2004. In 2003, he developed his own DDoS solution and in 2006, having achieved a seven-figure turnover, he sold the company assets to take on new challenges. In 2007, Verges began by renaming the business First Colo GmbH, where he planned and set up a data center, its entire IT infrastructure, and its Europe-wide backbone. Connections to more than 500 external networks, a 100-Gbit/s-VXLAN core network, and its own DDoS scrubbing center highlighted the highest standards in security, performance, and availability.
Having achieved year-on-year growth that averaged over 100% per annum (authenticated by Deloitte and KPMG), he sold his majority holding at the beginning of 2016 and handed over the business to his business partners.
In 2017, he founded croit GmbH in the field of innovative software-defined scale-out storage solutions. Since then, he has been building up the company as CEO, with very strong growth without external financing. In 2022, he also took over the establishment of the U.S. branch of the company and is responsible for its worldwide success. Today, croit employs employees and freelancers worldwide and offers excellent follow-the-sun support to its customers.
