Vlad Yatsenko, co-founder and chief technology officer of digital bank Revolut, is departing his role in July. Yatsenko has been a key technical leader since the company's inception alongside CEO Nik Storonsky.
Yatsenko's departure marks a significant leadership transition at the London-based fintech firm. His exit comes as Revolut continues scaling operations across multiple markets and pursuing regulatory approvals globally.
The CTO's resignation is the latest executive change at the rapidly growing digital banking platform. Revolut has expanded its product offerings beyond payments to include investment services, insurance, and cryptocurrency trading.
No immediate replacement has been announced. The company did not disclose reasons for Yatsenko's departure or outline succession plans.
Revolut recently reached unicorn status and has been pursuing banking licenses in various jurisdictions to support its expansion strategy. The fintech has faced regulatory scrutiny in some markets while securing approvals in others.
Yatsenko's departure represents a notable shift in Revolut's founding team, which has guided the company's technical architecture and product development since its 2015 launch.
