At OpusDNS, we believe that building an exceptional team is the foundation for creating something truly innovative in the domain wholesale industry. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Marco Hoffmann who joins the OpusDNS leadership team, bringing with him over 19 years of expertise in the domain industry.

Marco’s experience, vision, and leadership style make him an extraordinary addition to our growing team, and his commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with our mission to reshape the domain wholesale space. We couldn’t ask for a better COO and part of our managing directors team.

A Proven Leader in the Domain Industry

Marco’s career spans nearly two decades, during which he has established himself as a trusted leader and visionary in the domain industry. Throughout his career, Marco has been responsible for the integration of numerous Top-Level Domains (TLDs), overseeing all products related to domain management. His expertise extends to the implementation and administration of multiple Certificate Authorities (CAs) for SSL certificates, managing millions of certificates with precision and efficiency.

At the pinnacle of his previous role, Marco was responsible for more than 5 million domains on a central platform. He played a pivotal role in building the DomainHub within a major corporate group, streamlining domain operations, and fostering growth at an unprecedented scale.

His approach to leadership is rooted in empowering his teams to succeed. By fostering collaboration, trust, and a focus on shared goals, Marco has cultivated environments where innovation thrives. At OpusDNS, his leadership will play a crucial role in scaling our operations, refining our strategies, and delivering on our promise of creating a platform that truly serves the needs of domain resellers.

Why Marco Hoffmann Chose OpusDNS

We’re glad to share Marco’s own words:

“After nearly 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen the challenges resellers face and the gaps that exist in the market. What excites me about OpusDNS is the chance to be part of something fresh—a company that is focused on innovation, service, and building relationships. It’s an opportunity to not only address those gaps but to truly lead the industry forward.”

Marco’s perspective reflects a key insight we’ve heard consistently: the domain industry is ready for change. His alignment with the OpusDNS vision and values underscores our shared commitment to driving that transformation.

A Vision for Leadership and Growth

Marco’s leadership experience goes beyond technical operations. In addition to managing teams dedicated to domain administration, he led product management teams, driving innovation and strategic growth. For the past two years, Marco also served as an interim Chief Technology Officer (CTO), showcasing his ability to adapt, lead cross-functional teams, and drive technological advancements within the organization.

His leadership philosophy is centered on empowering teams, fostering collaboration, and creating environments where innovation can thrive. At OpusDNS, Marco will play a crucial role in scaling our operations, refining our strategies, and delivering on our promise to create a platform that truly serves the needs of domain resellers.

Looking Ahead

With Marco joining our leadership team, we’re more confident than ever in our ability to deliver a domain wholesale platform that is innovative, intuitive, and service-driven. His expertise and dedication will help us build not just a company, but a community of partners and resellers who trust us to help them succeed.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on one goal: to lead the domain industry into a new era of efficiency, collaboration, and excellence. Marco’s addition to the team is another step toward achieving that vision.

Based near our Regensburg offices, Marco enjoys working onsite with the team, actively contributing to product development and company culture from the ground up. Marco is also a passionate football fan, although in recent years he has been more of a spectator than a player. Additionally, Marco shares a love for football and LEGO with his young son, bonding over their shared hobbies and creativity.
