Sports betting solutions firm SOFTSWISS has completed the second of two major tech appointments this month, naming a new Chief Technology Officer.

The firm has filled the c-level role with Sergey Kastukevich, who has been working as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at the company for over five years, joining from IT firm ScienceSoft in 2020.

He has been tasked with overseeing the company’s technology roadmap overseeing software architecture and infrastructure strategy, technology security and reliability, and engineering productivity.

Kastukevich remarked: “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.”

Kastukevich takes on a c-level role at SOFTSWISS, a company with a broad footprint across various key European, African and Latin American markets, at a significant time for the wider gaming industry.

Regulatory changes and tax overhauls are underway across all three of these continents, while technology is playing an increasingly disruptive role in the industry. AI in particular is having a huge impact.

This too has been noted by SOFTSWISS, with Kastukevich’s promotion to CTO coming just a week after Denis Romanovskiy was hired as Chief AI Officer, the firm’s first c-level role solely dedicated to overseeing its use of AI technology.

Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, said: “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.”
