For over 20 years, we have empowered underserved communities with essential language solutions.

Crafting innovation with humanity at its core.

We didn’t just enter a market; we created it to meet a desperate need and continue to lead as the best in the industry. Our journey is more than providing language services – it’s about connecting people, understanding needs, and improving lives, one person at a time.

From challenge to change—the Cloudbreak story.


Twenty years ago, our founder Andy Panos personally faced language barriers when his brother was in a car crash in Mexico. The difficulty and miscommunication during this critical time sparked the idea for Martti Interpretation– a solution to bridge language gaps in crucial moments.

This idea was further fueled by emergency room doctors, who shared their struggles in communicating with a growing Somali community. They often had no access to local interpreters, leading to tragic outcomes when language barriers prevented effective healthcare delivery.

It was here that Andy envisioned joining the emerging concept of Telehealth with language services. The result was our groundbreaking Martti product, the pioneer in offering video remote interpretation services in the healthcare industry.

Superior service at every step.

We don’t just meet standards – we set them. We are always upgrading our services to surpass your expectations in quality, cost, delivery, security, and ease of use.

As a leader in healthcare technology, Martti has a certified ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and we work to faithfully comply with the requirements of our certification.

Meet the people who bring our vision to life.

Cloudbreak is a team of innovators with a passion for improving language access and health equity for all.
