The Soft2Bet team has recently received a major reinforcement in the face of Boris Chaikin, an industry veteran with more than 19 years of management experience under his belt.

Boris Chaikin is particularly known for building and managing teams in areas such as marketing, customer support, CRM and general operations. He is no stranger to cross-cultural and cross-national working environments, which are commonplace in the online gambling industry.

Mr Chaikin is positive that his tenure will spur exponential growth and productive advance in the Soft2Bet’s operations. “I hope we’ll see the company reach the forefronts of the industry under my management. I am thrilled to join the young and extremely dynamic team”, says Chaikin.

Soft2Bet is sure that Mr. Chaikin appointment is another contribution to making a step-up in service’s quality and further expansion, by optimizing existing operations and leading the company to the B2B market.

With slightly less than 50,000 monthly active customers and 3,000 affiliates, Soft2Bet is ready to face new challenges and set more ambitious goals. The company has grown “from 3 to more than 100 dedicated professionals” over the last two years. Soft2Bet has employed the new chief executive as part of their long-term development strategy. Mr. Chaikin’s vast marketing, operational and B2B experience is considered to be a valuable addition to already existing assets.

Uri Poliavich COO in Soft2bet says: “In last two years, we have grown Soft2bet to more than 120 people, we have consistently increased our profits and have effectively penetrated new markets, obtained new licenses, all while deepening our commitments to our partners and our team.

Boris has a wealth of experience and is perfectly placed to maximize Soft2bet future growth. He has spent his working life in the industry and has over a decade of experience as top manager. I’m delighted to welcome him to the venue.”

Boris Chaikin says: “Words are not enough to express my content and excitement about the new challenge I am undertaking. I believe this role is a logical pinnacle of my life-long experience in online gambling. Previous roles render me well prepared to lead Soft2Bet team to new heights and I will rely on the support of every team member to reach our common ambitions. Thanks again for the vouched trust and as we say in the office every Friday – Go Soft2Bet!”
