SOFTSWISS returns to Doers Summit Limassol on 21 – 22 May 2026 as a Bronze Partner, marking the company's second consecutive year at the European tech event. The iGaming infrastructure provider will spotlight AI governance through its newly appointed Chief AI Officer.
Denis Romanovskiy, who stepped into the Chief AI Officer role in January 2026 after serving as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS, will represent the company on a high-profile panel titled "Who Owns AI in Your Company? The Rise of the Chief AI Officer". As the only panellist holding a dedicated AI leadership position, Romanovskiy brings operational experience from managing AI systems across SOFTSWISS's extensive infrastructure.
The provider develops and operates software for more than 1,400 iGaming brands worldwide, delivering high-availability infrastructure with flagship solutions like the Game Aggregator achieving up to 99.999% uptime based on internal performance benchmarks. This operational scale requires structured governance for integrating data and AI models into production environments.
"AI is becoming a system that defines how products evolve, how processes accelerate, and how decisions are made. When platforms perform at scale and process data in real time, the question is not whether to use AI, but who is accountable for its outcomes."
— Denis Romanovskiy, Chief AI Officer at SOFTSWISS
The creation of SOFTSWISS's dedicated CAIO role reflects broader industry trends in AI governance. By establishing AI as a separate executive function from traditional CTO responsibilities, the company aims to accelerate AI implementation while maintaining operational control.
The approach aligns with SOFTSWISS's broader technology strategy, which focuses on reducing technical overhead through innovative automation solutions. The company's recent launch of no-code tools demonstrates this commitment to streamlined operations through advanced technology integration.
"Separating CTO and CAIO roles allows us to move faster while maintaining control over risk, quality, and system stability. I'm really looking forward to discussing this and exchanging perspectives with founders and C-level leaders from leading tech companies."
— Denis Romanovskiy, Chief AI Officer at SOFTSWISS
CAIO vs CTO: Key Differences
While CTOs focus on infrastructure, security, and technical operations, Chief AI Officers specifically manage AI model deployment, data governance, algorithm performance, and AI-related compliance. CAIOs typically report directly to CEOs and work across departments to ensure AI initiatives align with business objectives rather than just technical requirements.
Beyond the panel discussion, SOFTSWISS will maintain an informal presence at Doers Summit through a branded ice cream truck, facilitating conversations around architecture, AI, and system performance. The company also announced its upcoming Tech Race Summit in Warsaw on 10 September 2026, targeting technology specialists in fast-growing digital sectors.
The emergence of dedicated Chief AI Officer roles signals a maturation in how technology companies structure AI accountability. For operators managing complex, real-time systems at SOFTSWISS's scale, separating AI governance from traditional infrastructure management creates clearer decision-making frameworks and risk management protocols.
This structural evolution reflects broader questions facing the iGaming sector: as AI becomes integral to platform operations, the industry must define who owns AI outcomes and how executive leadership adapts to manage increasingly autonomous systems.
