Arkadiy "Ark" Dobkin (born June 3, 1960, Minsk, Belarus) is an American entrepreneur and technology executive. He is the principal founder, chairman, and longtime CEO of EPAM Systems, a U.S.-based global provider of digital engineering and IT consulting services.
After immigrating to the United States in 1991, Dobkin co-founded EPAM in 1993 and led its growth from a small cross-border start-up into a publicly listed multinational company operating in more than 50 countries, with annual revenue exceeding US$5 billion and over 60,000 employees.
As of July 2025, Dobkin was one of only 24 CEOs in the S&P 500 to have led their company since its founding, and one of only nine in the technology sector.
In September 2025, during Dobkin’s final twelve months as CEO, EPAM ranked 7th on Glassdoor's 2025 "50 Best-Led Companies in the United States" list, based on anonymous, voluntary employee reviews; the ranking was led by NVIDIA, and ServiceNow rounded out the top ten.
