Revolut's UK head of trading Shkrebkova leaves fintech firm

Revolut Trading UK’s head of trading, Yana Shkrebenkova, has departed from the fintech firm, according to LinkedIn activity. Shkrebenkova, who also serves as an advisory council member for the Harvard Business Review and a research executive panel member for McKinsey & Company, has not disclosed the specific reasons for her exit. Her LinkedIn profile remains active, but no further details about her next professional steps have been provided.

Shkrebenkova’s departure comes amid a period of regulatory scrutiny and leadership changes at Revolut. Earlier in 2026, co-founder and CTO Vlad Yatsenko announced his decision to step down. Additionally, Revolut’s chief financial officer, Mikko Salovaara, left the company in 2023, citing personal reasons. These transitions highlight the evolving leadership structure at the firm as it continues to navigate regulatory challenges and its pursuit of a UK banking license.

Revolut remains a major player in the fintech sector, offering a range of services including current accounts, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrency trading. The company reported its first full year of profitability in 2023, with a pretax profit of £59.1 million. However, it has faced delays in regulatory approvals and has expressed concerns about the UK’s business environment, including high taxes and bureaucratic hurdles.

Shkrebenkova’s exit does not appear to be linked to recent financial or regulatory issues, according to a Revolut spokesperson. The company has yet to announce a successor for her role.
