Revolut co-founder Vlad Yatsenko will step down as chief technology officer on 1 July and remain on the board as a non-executive director, Bloomberg reported, in a management reshuffle that will see Donato Lucia, Revolut's Head of Technology, assume a renamed technology leadership role.

The move was reported by Bloomberg and Fintech News Singapore. Revolut said the change takes effect on 1 July 2026, after more than a decade in which Yatsenko was one of the core architects of its platform. 

#### ROLE CHANGE AND IMMEDIATE STRUCTURE

**Yatsenko joined Revolut as its first employee and was given the co-founder title by chief executive Nik Storonsky.** According to the company, he will remain on the board as a non-executive director and continue to lend his expertise.

**Donato Lucia**, Revolut’s head of technology, will succeed Yatsenko in the position, which will be renamed vice president of technology. Lucia joined Revolut in 2018 as a senior software engineer and became head of technology in April 2025.

#### CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS

Revolut said Lucia’s technical leadership and knowledge of its core architecture position him to lead the company’s global engineering division. 

The change comes as Revolut expands in the US, where it applied for a banking charter and federal deposit insurance in March and appointed a new US chief executive. 

Yatsenko said he felt content with the decision, as Revolut had grown from a young, ambitious startup into a mature, highly impactful global company.

A Revolut spokesperson told Reuters the company was pleased that Yatsenko would continue to lend his expertise as he remains on the board.
