Revolut is reshuffling its technology leadership just months after securing full UK banking license approval. Co-Founder Vlad Yatsenko will step down as Chief Technology Officer on July 1, 2026, after a decade leading the company’s technology operations, according to FinTech Futures. He will move into a non-executive director role on Revolut’s board, where a company spokesperson said he will provide strategic oversight and technical counsel.
Donato Lucia, Revolut’s current head of technology, will be promoted to Vice President of Technology and assume Yatsenko’s responsibilities. Lucia joined Revolut in 2018 as a senior software engineer and later rose to head of technology. A company spokesperson said he has worked with Yatsenko to scale Revolut’s global systems and brings a deep understanding of the company’s core infrastructure.
Yatsenko co-founded Revolut with CEO Nik Storonsky in 2015 and helped build the technology platform behind the company’s growth. Revolut now serves more than 70 million customers worldwide and reached a $75 billion valuation in 2025. The company did not disclose the reason for Yatsenko’s departure from the executive team.
The move follows other recent leadership changes at Revolut, including the April departure of Dmytro Strelchuk, the company’s head of expansion. It also comes after Revolut secured full UK banking license approval in March, ending a five-year application process.
