SOFTSWISS Founder Ivan Montik Recognized as CEO of the Year

The premier entity in the realm of gambling software, content creation, and solutions, serving betting and gaming operators worldwide, SOFTSWISS, has made waves with a recent accolade bestowed upon its founder, Ivan Montik.

On Friday, the organization disclosed that its executive was honored as CEO of the Year in the iGaming Industry at the European CEO Awards 2025.

The Executive’s Enthusiasm for the Distinguished Award

This thrilling event celebrates innovative companies and their leaders who are transforming the gambling industry and enabling business growth.

In a press release, SOFTSWISS highlighted this latest recognition as a testament to Montik’s unwavering commitment and significant contributions to the evolution of the online gambling sector.

This recent honor follows closely on the heels of a new sponsorship agreement announced between SOFTSWISS and the emerging motorsport star, Eduardo Barrichello.

The Founder of SOFTSWISS emphasized the crucial role of the company’s entire team in achieving this recent recognition:

‘Their creativity, innovative thinking, and relentless dedication to continuously enhancing our products and services are fundamental to the company’s success,’ Montik concluded.

SOFTSWISS Continues Its Expansion

The executive’s accolades arrive at a time when SOFTSWISS has reached numerous milestones throughout 2024:

• Collaborated with Rubens Barrichello, appointing him as Non-Executive Director in Latin America.
• Expanded its Game Aggregator content hub to encompass more than 27,800 games, establishing it as the largest in the industry.
• Introduced three new solutions: its Retail Betting Solution, Lotto Software, and the Horse Racing module, integrated into its existing Sportsbook.

Undoubtedly, Montik’s leadership and successful partnership with the talented team at SOFTSWISS have been instrumental in the company’s ability to achieve so many objectives within a single year.

Simultaneously, SOFTSWISS is in a state of constant evolution, expanding and refining its offerings to reach ever more clients than ever before.
