Lyubomyr Reverchuk

Lyubomyr (also known as Lou) Reverchuk is a Ukrainian IT entrepreneur and known as a co-founder and CEO of EchoGlobal, a company focused on software development and tech talent recruitment. His background in web development and talent acquisition has helped grow a small Lviv-based startup into an international staffing^[1] firm connecting global companies with top IT professionals, primarily from Eastern Europe and LATAM.

Early Life and Education

Born in 1985, Lyubomyr developed an early interest in technology, spending much of his childhood experimenting with computers. This passion led him to earn a Master of Science degree in Computer Studies from the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy^[2]. He later strengthened his business skills through a Business Development course at Lviv IT School and the Entrepreneurship Essentials program at Harvard Business School Online.

Early Career

After completing his studies, Reverchuk gained experience in both technical and marketing roles. He worked as a freelance web developer and digital marketer, as mentioned in his interview^[3], and later as an IT specialist at Kredobank. These roles gave him a solid understanding of software development, clients’ needs and business processes, which later supported his move into entrepreneurship.

Founding of Echo

In May 2013, at the age of 28, Lou founded EchoUA, later renamed EchoGlobal, in his hometown of Lviv, Ukraine. The company started as a typical development firm and later evolved into a boutique IT staffing agency focused on building and managing dedicated software engineering teams for clients. Reverchuk’s vision was to recruit top developers from Eastern Europe and match them with established startups and product companies in the US and the UK. EchoGlobal not only sources senior tech talent but also provides full support for remote teams, including HR, payroll, and legal compliance, to ensure smooth integration with client operations. By focusing on quality over quantity, the company differentiated itself in a competitive outsourcing market and built long-term client partnerships.

Growth and Achievements

Over the next decade, Lyubomyr led EchoGlobal through steady growth, expanding its client base across Europe and North America and working with startups, large enterprises, and even a Fortune 500 company. Despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the company continued to grow, achieving a 36% increase in staff and a 51% revenue increase in 2022^[4]. Under his leadership, EchoGlobal maintained a strong reputation for reliability, earned industry recognition, and achieved ISO 27001 certification^[5], reinforcing Lou’s position as a respected leader in tech outsourcing and recruitment.

In addition to running his company, Lou Reverchuk is active in the wider business and tech community. He is a member of the Young Business Club (YBC), a network for entrepreneurs, and he serves as a mentor in the GrowthMentor community, where he advises other startups and professionals. Reverchuk frequently shares his insights on technology, recruitment, and leadership in industry publications and forums. He has been featured or quoted in outlets such as HubSpot^[6], Fast Company^[7], StartupNation^[8], Breezy^[9], and Recrutee^[10], contributing his perspective on topics ranging from HR to innovation in tech teams. In December 2024, he was also recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice. Through these engagements, Reverchuk has established himself as a thought leader who bridges the gap between global tech talent and business needs, often offering lessons^[11] drawn from his own experiences as a CEO.
