The appointment reflects SOFTSWISS’ focus on long-term technology stability, scalability, and disciplined engineering execution as the company enters its next phase of growth.
Kastukevich has served as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS for more than five years, where he played a central role in shaping the company’s technology foundations. In 2025, he was named CTO of the Year in EMEA at the 2025 Oracle Excellence Awards, in recognition of his contribution to technology leadership and engineering excellence. Under his leadership, SOFTSWISS developed highly reliable and scalable solutions designed for complex, high-load, and highly regulated environments.

His remit includes oversight of software architecture, infrastructure strategy, security and reliability standards, and engineering productivity across teams. A key priority will be ensuring technical excellence in how SOFTSWISS builds and scales its products.
SOFTSWISS places strong emphasis on engineering culture and continuous knowledge exchange. In 2025, under Kastukevich’s technical leadership, the company hosted several internal and external technology initiatives. These included an internal technology conference that brought together more than 100 engineers and developers working on SOFTSWISS products, alongside industry-facing events aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation within the wider tech community.
Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, commented:
“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.”
Sergey Kastukevich, Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS, added:
“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.”
As part of its new technology and product strategy, SOFTSWISS has also announced the creation of a Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer role to formalise AI as an integral part of its business infrastructure. Together, these leadership appointments underline the company’s commitment to strengthening both software engineering and enterprise AI capabilities as part of its long-term strategy.
