SAN RAMON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDYN) (Grid Dynamics), a leading provider of technology consulting, platform and product engineering, AI, and digital engagement services, today announced leadership transitions aimed at expanding its global footprint and accelerating technology innovation. Effective April 1, 2025, Dr. Eugene Steinberg will be promoted to Chief Technology Officer (CTO), while Rajeev Sharma, the current CTO, will assume the responsibilities of Managing Partner (MP) of APAC.
A founding engineer at Grid Dynamics and most recently serving as Distinguished Technical Fellow, Dr. Steinberg brings extensive expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, information retrieval, and scalable distributed systems to his new role. Throughout his tenure at Grid Dynamics, Dr. Steinberg has been instrumental in conceiving and scaling the company’s technology practices, leading mission-critical transformation programs for Fortune 1000 clients while pioneering breakthrough solutions in AI, search, and cloud-native platform development. His leadership has been crucial in establishing Grid Dynamics as a technical powerhouse in digital transformation.
“I am deeply humbled and honored to lead Grid Dynamics’ exceptional technology team,” said Dr. Steinberg. “It’s an extraordinary time to drive our innovation strategy forward, as AI and advanced digital solutions are reshaping entire industries. I’ve seen firsthand how well-architected systems, engineering brilliance and dedication can transform challenges into breakthroughs within months, not years. I am committed to furthering the spirit of innovation and technical excellence that has distinguished Grid Dynamics, while expanding our capabilities in AI and platform engineering to deliver real, measurable impact for our clients.”
In his new role as MP of APAC, Mr. Sharma will oversee business expansion, engineering excellence, M&A, and strategic partnerships across the Asia-Pacific region. As Grid Dynamics’ CTO since 2021, he has driven significant technological advancements, including expanding the company’s AI capabilities and strengthening partnerships with major hyperscalers. He played an instrumental role in spearheading Grid Dynamics’ expansion into India, which has grown to become one of Grid Dynamics’ top three delivery locations. Under his technology leadership, Grid Dynamics has achieved over 100 successful AI implementations and increased partnership-driven revenue to 18% of total revenue.
“The APAC region, particularly India, has emerged as a strategic hub for global digital transformation, with its deep talent pool and growing ecosystem of Global Capability Centers,” said Mr. Sharma. “Having led large-scale technology transformations for Fortune 1000 clients and overseen our successful entry into India, I anticipate tremendous opportunity to accelerate Grid Dynamics’ growth in the region while maintaining our high standards of engineering excellence. My focus will be on expanding our technical capabilities, fostering strategic partnerships, and identifying targeted M&A opportunities that strengthen our position in key markets.”
These leadership changes reflect Grid Dynamics’ commitment to GigaCube, the company’s growth strategy that emphasizes three pillars: geo-scalability, innovation, and industry expansion. With Dr. Steinberg at the helm of Grid Dynamics’ technology portfolio and Mr. Sharma leading APAC expansion, the company is positioned to unlock new value for investors and deliver innovative services to global clients across diverse industries.
“Positioning Dr. Steinberg and Mr. Sharma in these strategic roles sets the stage for a powerful blend of continued technical innovation and further expanding our global reach,” said Leonard Livschitz, CEO of Grid Dynamics. “Eugene’s technical mastery and leadership unite teams and drive transformative outcomes, and Rajeev’s record of orchestrating large-scale change is equally impressive. With this alignment, we reaffirm our commitment to delivering enduring success for our clients and investors.”
