Cyprus-headquartered iGaming platform provider GR8 Tech has appointed Edward Smyshliaiev as chief technology officer (CTO).

Smyshliaiev is tasked with streamlining and enhancing GR8 Tech’s product development process and architecture to support the company’s growth efforts, and will gradually take over key areas such as platform, information security and technical governance.

“I’m excited to work with the exceptional team to redefine the limits of what is feasible and am determined to provide unparalleled technological solutions that will empower our clients and disrupt the industry.”

Ashyrov added: “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.”
