We welcome Edward Smyshliaiev as GR8_TECH’s new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). This organizational change strengthens our high-performance tech leadership and platform innovation.

With over two decades of experience in software engineering, AI, machine learning, and large-scale digital transformation, Edward has a proven track record of turning complex challenges into scalable solutions.

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 and 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.

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 platform delivers high value to partners.

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.
