Sergey Kastukevich, chief technology officer of i-gaming software company SoftSwiss, was named Oracle CTO of the Year in the EMEA region at the 2025 Oracle Excellence Awards.

The awards are run to celebrate global tech leaders that drive innovation, not just participate in it.

Oracle said Kastukevich strategically uses emerging technologies to advance SoftSwiss’s key objectives, such as reducing operational costs, enhancing system stability, and developing transformative products that benefit both the company and the broader industry.

SoftSwiss is expanding its presence across Africa, and has formally launched in South Africa.

“We take pride in our successful collaboration with Oracle OCI, which allows us to implement innovative projects with high reliability and security,” says Kastukevich.
