SOFTSWISS Appoints First Chief AI Officer

SOFTSWISS, a leading global provider of technology solutions, has appointed Denis Romanovskiy as its inaugural Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (CAIO). The creation of this C-suite role reflects broader trends across Malta’s iGaming ecosystem, where companies are increasingly treating AI as core business infrastructure rather than experimental technology.

Malta has established itself as the jurisdiction of choice for iGaming operators and technology providers, combining progressive regulation with robust governance frameworks that enable innovation whilst maintaining strict compliance standards. The Malta Gaming Authority’s (MGA) emphasis on responsible gaming and technological transparency has created an environment where companies can deploy advanced AI solutions with confidence and regulatory certainty.

Romanovskiy, who previously served as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS, will oversee the deployment of an enterprise-grade AI Platform designed to scale automation securely across global operations. The platform's governance principles, including strict access control, full auditability, and cost transparency, align closely with Malta’s regulatory philosophy of enabling innovation within clearly defined compliance parameters.

The appointment reflects Malta's success in attracting high-value technology development and senior executive talent. With over 2,000 employees globally including substantial operations in Malta, SOFTSWISS represents the calibre of international technology companies choosing the jurisdiction for their European headquarters and development centres.

Malta's iGaming sector continues demonstrating resilience and growth, with companies investing heavily in next-generation technologies including AI, blockchain integration, and advanced data analytics. This commitment to technological leadership, combined with the jurisdiction's established regulatory framework and skilled workforce, ensures Malta remains the dominant European hub for iGaming innovation and enterprise-scale technology deployment across the sector.
