Synteq Appoints New CEO, Eric Yingling

WILMINGTON, Del., July 23, 2026 – In a significant move poised to reshape the future of the company, Synteq has announced the appointment of Eric Yingling as its Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2026. This transition comes as Synteq continues to expand its footprint in the cloud services industry and aims to become a leading enterprise cloud platform.

Eric Yingling takes the reins from Taras Kulyk, Synteq's co-founder, who will now serve as the Chief Development Officer. This leadership change marks a strategic shift for Synteq, prioritizing growth and innovation as the company navigates a rapidly evolving technology landscape. Under Yingling's tenure, Synteq aims to leverage its robust cloud infrastructure to better serve enterprises worldwide.

Before his new role, Yingling served as the Vice President of High-Performance Computing (HPC) at Synteq, leading the company’s cloud compute division. He joined the company through the acquisition of Crunchbits, a cloud infrastructure company he founded in 2017. At Crunchbits, Yingling was instrumental in building the brand into a well-respected player in the VPS, dedicated servers, and GPU compute markets. The intellectual property and operational capabilities gained through this acquisition have significantly bolstered Synteq's service offerings, providing enhanced performance and reliability to its cloud compute services.

Following the announcement, Taras Kulyk expressed high praise for Yingling, stating, "From the moment we acquired Crunchbits, it was evident that Eric was integral in shaping the future of our business. Entrusting him with the leadership role as our new CEO and board member was pivotal for us. His exceptional leadership qualities and a clear vision for the industry's future make him the ideal candidate for this role."

Jaime Leverton, Chair of Synteq's Board of Directors, also emphasized the importance of this leadership transition. She noted, "Our aim was to find someone who could transition Synteq from a fast-growing hardware company to a prominent enterprise cloud platform. Eric was the standout choice in that search. He possesses extensive experience in building and operating cloud infrastructure and enjoys the confidence of both our team and our clients."

Yingling expressed gratitude for the opportunity, stating, "I am honored to embrace this new challenge and thankful to the founders, board of directors, and our leadership team for their vision in shaping Synteq into the powerhouse it is today. We have an exceptional team, a trusted brand, and a demand from the market that aligns with our offerings. I am looking forward to developing products our customers will love and delivering unmatched value."

Synteq provides an array of compute services, including bare metal and virtualized infrastructure, to enterprises, researchers, and developers around the globe. The company operates its network and infrastructure across multiple locations, continually expanding its capabilities to offer top-tier services. Building on the strengths gained from Crunchbits, Synteq combines industry-grade infrastructure with exceptional cost-efficiency for compute, storage, and virtualization.

As Eric Yingling begins his journey as Synteq's CEO, the tech community watches closely to see how his leadership will influence the company’s trajectory in the competitive cloud services market. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, there is much potential for Synteq to emerge as a key player in shaping the future of enterprise cloud solutions.
