SOFTSWISS Adds Tesla and PandaDoc Executives to Tech Race Summit Speaker Roster
TL;DR — SOFTSWISS has added Tesla’s Javier Verdura and PandaDoc co-founder Mikita Mikado to its September 10 Tech Race Summit in Warsaw. The event expands from cloud infrastructure to leadership, scaling and product development. This draws cross-industry lessons for iGaming operators facing similar talent and execution pressures.
SCCG Take — The lineup underscores that iGaming technology leadership must import proven practices from high-growth tech sectors to manage regulated expansion effectively.
SOFTSWISS has expanded the speaker lineup for the Tech Race Summit scheduled for September 10 in Warsaw. The additions are Javier Verdura, Global Director of Product Design at Tesla, and Mikita Mikado, co-founder of PandaDoc. These join previously announced speakers from AWS, Oracle and Cloudflare.
The summit occurs as online gaming companies expand across regulated markets. They encounter challenges that parallel those of global technology firms in building engineering teams, scaling products and competing for talent.
Cross-Industry Lessons on Teams and Scaling
Verdura will deliver a session titled “Building High-Performance Teams: Lessons from Tesla.” The focus is on how the electric vehicle maker develops teams capable of delivering products quickly while maintaining quality and innovation.
Mikado will present a keynote titled “Building the Next Silicon Valley Business.” It shares lessons from growing PandaDoc from an Eastern European startup into a global software company, with emphasis on product scaling, talent acquisition and international expansion.
The new speakers broaden the summit’s agenda beyond cloud infrastructure into engineering leadership, product design, entrepreneurship and company building, complementing sessions from executives at AWS, Oracle and Cloudflare.
Sergey Kastukevich, Chief Technology Officer at SOFTSWISS, said: “The technology challenges facing iGaming today extend well beyond infrastructure. Building successful technology companies also depends on leadership, product thinking, and the ability to scale teams as the business grows.”
Kastukevich added: “By bringing together speakers from Tesla, PandaDoc, AWS, Oracle, Cloudflare, and other global technology companies, we are creating conversations that rarely happen within a single event. Our goal is to give attendees practical insights they can apply to their own organisations, regardless of the industry they work in.”
Programme for High-Load Industry Practitioners
The Tech Race Summit is designed to bring together technology practitioners from the iGaming, financial technology and other high-load industries. The programme covers cloud architecture, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, engineering leadership, observability, product development and company building. Early-bird pricing for tickets is offered until Aug. 10.
