Leading iGaming provider of high-performance Sportsbook and Casino platform GR8 Tech communicated the welcoming of Edward Smyshliaiev as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). This organizational change strengthens the company’s high-performance tech leadership and platform innovation.
With over two decades of experience in software engineering, AI, machine learning, and large-scale digital transformation, he has a proven track record of turning complex challenges into scalable solutions.
As CTO, Edward will focus on building strong teams, streamlining development, and enhancing GR8 Tech’s architecture to support global growth. He’ll gradually take over key areas such as platform, information security, and technical governance, ensuring the firm delivers high value to partners.
In this sense, Artur Ashyrov, who previously shared the roles of Deputy CEO and CTO, will now focus on operational leadership while continuing to drive technology forward through GR8 Tech’s internal Innovation Sprint, a company-wide initiative to boost tech-savviness and ignite a culture of innovation across teams.
“As I step into a broader strategic focus, I’m excited to support Edward in driving GR8 Tech’s product innovation from a leadership position rooted in tech. It’s a natural evolution for a company building the future of B2B platforms,” said Ashyrov.
For his part, Smyshliaiev stated: “Joining GR8 Tech at the present moment fills me with immense enthusiasm. I am really impressed by the company’s innovative mindset and its ability to see clearly into the future. I’m excited to work with the exceptional GR8 team to redefine the limits of what is feasible and determined to provide unparalleled technological solutions that will empower our clients and disrupt the industry.”
