Biography

Vlad Yatsenko is cofounder of digital bank Revolut, which was valued by private investors at $75 billion in November 2025.

The dual British-Ukrainian citizen called Vladimir Putin "one of the most brazen liars in history" on February 24, the day Russia invaded Ukraine.

Revolut, which he runs with Nik Storonsky, who grew up in Russia but left at age 20, helped raise more than $11 million in donations for the Ukrainian Red Cross.

Yatsenko is Revolut's chief technology officer; he previously built software at UBS, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse.

Yatsenko owns a bit less than 3% of Revolut.
