Recently, dynamic iGaming provider of high-performance sportsbook and casino platform GR8 Tech communicate that Oleksandr Feshchenko, its Chief Executive Officer, was named ‘Global CEO of the Year 2026’ in the Technology Industry by European CEO magazine, the second consecutive year he has received the honor. The judging panel’s decision was unanimous.
The award recognized Feshchenko’s leadership across three areas the panel identified as defining: a) track record of turning technological strategy into scalable commercial outcomes; b) focus on building an organization designed to last, not just perform; and c) consistent investment in people and culture as core business levers rather than afterthoughts.
What distinguished Feshchenko from a competitive field, according to the panel, was the combination of all three. Individual strengths are common at the CEO level, but the consistency across strategy, execution, and organizational health is rare.
Under Feshchenko’s leadership, GR8 Tech has grown into a recognized provider of technology solutions for the iGaming sector, with an approach that the panel described as forward-looking without sacrificing operational discipline.
About this award, Feshenko said: “Receiving this recognition two years in a row means a great deal. I’ve learned that success is most dangerous when it makes you comfortable. This award belongs to the team at GR8 Tech as much as it does to me, and what it really does is raise the bar. The technology industry doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. There’s a lot we’re building toward, and that’s exactly where our focus stays.”
The ‘Global CEO of the Year’ award is presented annually by European CEO magazine following an evaluation of international candidates across various industries.
