About us

WELCOME TO CIELO COSTA

Cielo Costa fondly originates from Spanish and Italian translations of sea, sun, sky and coast. We like to interpret this as bringing a bit of sunshine, blue sky, cloud-based technology and a sense of warmth, security and pleasure to all your software development needs.

KNOW US BETTER

Our story

We’re a unique group of people at Cielo Costa and we only say that because we do things differently, and that difference comes from the way we were founded. 

At the age of 13 years old Ali Sanaei (our Founder) knew his purpose in life was to serve people, make people happy and to add value to people’s experiences. In his early years he fulfilled these ambitions through a waiting job and then set his sights on owning a hotel and delivering tailor-made experiences. However, the inner ‘tech’ (he calls it geek!) in him was crying to be released and at 17 years old he started on his career in IT. 

After many years of experience working for others, partnering in other businesses and helping businesses grow and extend through the power of technology, in early 2016 Cielo Costa was born. 

Born on a promise to be customer orientated, a value driven business that empowers its people to be brave, passionate, empathetic and work together to serve and please people and to be at the forefront of developments, enhancements and executions. 

We’re a global based business with members of the team located all around the world, we’ve fostered a culture of encouragement and support, working together to solve challenges and deliver the best solutions for our clients and their employees, customers and partners. 

We nurture and reward our employee’s well, we value them immensely. Our people and their skills and strengths are our assets, and we hugely respect them.
