Fintech Innovator & Software Engineering Leader; Co-Founder & Former CTO at Revolut; Digital Banking Technology Expert
Vlad Yatsenko Biography
Vlad Yatsenko is a British-Ukrainian software engineer and entrepreneur recognized as the co-founder and chief technology officer of Revolut, a prominent financial technology company. Before co-founding Revolut, Yatsenko spent a decade developing financial systems at major investment banks, including UBS and Deutsche Bank. His experience in software engineering spans industries such as travel and finance, where he created real-time billing systems and booking engines.
Yatsenko played a key role at Revolut from its inception, becoming the first employee prior to the company's official launch. He co-founded the company with Nik Storonsky, developing it from the initial codebase into a complex fintech platform with scalable in-house technology supporting all business functions. The original business plan projected 30,000 users after one year, but the platform reached 300,000 users, requiring rapid and ongoing engineering innovation. Yatsenko architected the technical infrastructure that enabled Revolut to expand across multiple countries and serve tens of millions of users.
Yatsenko led the development of Revolut's platform, which serves more than 70 million customers globally and contributed to the company reaching a multibillion-dollar valuation. As CTO, he directed the creation of Revolut's technology, advancing digital banking and financial services. Under his leadership, Revolut expanded its offerings to include currency exchange, payments, stock trading, personal loans, and insurance, establishing its position as a leading European neobank. Forbes ranked Yatsenko among the world's wealthiest individuals, with a net worth exceeding $2 billion.
In addition to his work in financial technology, Yatsenko has demonstrated civic engagement. As a dual British-Ukrainian citizen, he publicly denounced Vladimir Putin on the day Russia invaded Ukraine, and Revolut facilitated more than $11 million in donations for the Ukrainian Red Cross. After more than a decade overseeing Revolut's technology operations, Yatsenko transitioned to a non-executive director role on the company's board, where he provides strategic oversight and technical counsel. His career reflects a trajectory from writing code on paper as a teenager to building one of the world's most valuable fintech platforms.
