Leadership team
Viktor Chekh
Chief Executive Officer
I'm inspired by the company's growth and our expansion to new markets. It guarantees our progress! I am happy to be surrounded by like-minded people who love what they do and never stop searching for opportunities for self-improvement. (I am happy that Sombra is a part of global digital transformation).
Even as the company grows, we still manage to bring together people with the same professional aspirations and life priorities. I believe that this is what makes us truly successful!
The company's top management is actually a carrier of the culture and values that they not only declare but also put into practice every day, and this sets a good example for the entire Sombra team.
At Sombra, we don’t just build software — we build partnerships that drive sustainable growth. My mission is to ensure every client engagement translates into real business outcomes through strategy, speed, and trust.
As a global team, we partner with you to manage everything from software development and data infrastructure to cloud solutions and cybersecurity. Our approach is focused on precision and results – 98% of our projects are delivered on time and within scope, helping you achieve your business goals without unnecessary complications.
We’re committed to long-term partnerships, with many of our clients working with us for an average of 4 years. You’ll have a direct connection to our leadership and a team that scales/descales to meet your needs. While we focus on your tech, you can stay focused on growing your business.

Idea, Team, First Office
Sombra was founded in 2013 by Viktor Chekh. The company started with a small office in Lviv, working on freelance projects. From the beginning, the team focused on both technology and strong human values. To grow, the company needed a strong technical leader, and in 2014, Yurii Nakonechnyi became CTO, helping expand the company. Sombra quickly grew to 26 employees, gained major clients like Studio Ninja and ZappySales, and held the first Sombra Day – a tradition that continues today.
2016-2019
Culture, New Office, Strategic Partners
2016 was a turning point for Sombra. The company opened new offices in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk, secured its first major client – a Canadian bank, and won an Upwork award. Sombra launched its first Roadshow in the USA and Canada to strengthen partnerships. Around this time, core values were defined, shaping the company’s culture. By 2019, the team had reached 100 employees, and in 2018 and 2020, Sombra ranked among the top 5 IT employers by DOU. In 2020, during COVID-19, Sombra quickly adapted to remote work and enhanced communication, proving its resilience.
2020-2024
New Markets, New Opportunities
From 2020 to 2024, Sombra grew rapidly, expanding into finance, logistics, and e-commerce and attracting larger clients despite global challenges. In 2020, the company was listed among Clutch’s Top 100 fastest-growing companies, and in 2021, it joined the Top 1000 global companies and opened an office in Kyiv. In 2022, Sombra launched the Sombra for Ukraine charity fund, supporting the country during the war and reinforcing its values. By 2023, Sombra celebrated 10 years, growing from a startup to a global company with a new office in Medellín, Colombia. In 2024, expansion continued with an office in Poland, and the team reached 350+ specialists, including 45 in Colombia.
