Sergei Riabov announced his departure from Revolut on LinkedIn today (Friday). He served at the company for almost three years, most recently as the Head of Wealth & Trading.
“After almost 3 incredible years at Revolut, it’s time for me to step away. I’m proud of what we’ve built—a fast-scaling, international brokerage business that now helps millions invest smarter.”
Before holding this position, Riabov was Revolut’s Head of Product for Wealth & Trading. He was based in London during this time. His role included setting product strategy and overseeing operations across the UK, EU, and other international markets such as Singapore, Australia, and the US.
At Revolut, Riabov managed ten cross-functional product teams.
