iGaming technology provider SOFTSWISS has elevated Deputy CTO Sergey Kastukevich to Chief Technology Officer, positioning the Oracle award winner to spearhead the company's technology roadmap through 2026. The internal promotion signals SOFTSWISS' commitment to engineering stability and disciplined execution as it scales operations.

Kastukevich brings over five years of experience as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS, where he has been instrumental in developing the company's technical architecture. His industry recognition peaked in 2025 when he was named CTO of the Year in EMEA at the 2025 Oracle Excellence Awards, acknowledging his contributions to technology leadership and engineering excellence.

Engineering Leadership Track Record

Throughout his tenure, Kastukevich has overseen the development of scalable solutions designed for high-load, regulated environments characteristic of the iGaming sector. His technical leadership extends beyond internal operations – in 2025, SOFTSWISS hosted several technology initiatives under his guidance, including an internal conference that brought together more than 100 engineers and developers working on company products.

The company has also organized industry-facing events aimed at fostering collaboration within the broader technology community, reflecting its emphasis on continuous knowledge exchange and engineering culture.

Strategic Technology Responsibilities

In his expanded role, Kastukevich will define and execute SOFTSWISS' technology roadmap while overseeing software architecture, infrastructure strategy, security standards, and engineering productivity across development teams. Technical excellence in product development and scaling represent key priorities for the position.

"Sergey has consistently demonstrated the kind of leadership that is critical for a technology-driven business – strong engineering judgement, long-term thinking, and the ability to build systems that perform under pressure. His promotion to CTO aligns with our strategy for 2026, where platform stability, scalability, and technological discipline are key pillars of sustainable growth."

Kastukevich outlined his strategic approach to the role, emphasizing both operational reliability and innovation culture.

"In this role, my focus will remain on strengthening the technical foundations that enable rapid, secure, and high-quality delivery while also driving innovation across everything we do. At SOFTSWISS, technology leadership means not only ensuring reliability and scalability, but also shaping a culture where engineers can create forward-looking solutions and continuously evolve our products. I am committed to further strengthening SOFTSWISS as a trusted technology company that sets new standards for the iGaming industry."

Broader Technology Strategy Alignment

The CTO appointment forms part of SOFTSWISS' comprehensive technology and product strategy, which recently included the creation of a Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer role. These leadership appointments underscore the company's dual focus on strengthening software engineering capabilities and formalizing AI as integral business infrastructure.

Technology Leadership Implications

Kastukevich's promotion from within reflects SOFTSWISS' preference for continuity in technical leadership while scaling operations. His Oracle recognition and track record managing complex, regulated technology environments position him to navigate the compliance and performance demands facing iGaming technology providers. The emphasis on engineering culture and knowledge sharing suggests SOFTSWISS is preparing for sustained technical talent competition as the sector consolidates around platform reliability and regulatory compliance capabilities.
