V lad Yatsenko is a Ukrainian-born British billionaire and the co-founder and chief technology officer of the financial technology company Revolut. A self-taught programmer, he began his career building financial software systems for major investment banks like Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse. He later joined forces with the former Credit Suisse trader, Nik Storonsky, to found Revolut in 2015.

As the technical architect of the company, Yatsenko was responsible for building the robust and scalable technology platform that powers Revolut's financial super-app. The company started by offering a pre-paid debit card with low-cost currency exchange and has since expanded into a full-fledged digital banking alternative, offering services like stock and crypto trading, savings accounts, and business accounts. The company's rapid growth and its multi-billion dollar valuation have made Yatsenko one of the wealthiest people in the UK's burgeoning fintech scene.
