UnaFinancial’s CEO Natalia Ishchenko steps down from the post after 2 years of management. From June 1, 2024, the position will be taken over by the Group’s Founder and former CEO Sergey Sedov, who successfully led the business for 7 years prior to Natalia’s appointment.

Having achieved strategic objectives and targets set by the Board, Natalia has implemented business transformation necessary for the Group and optimized the operations, establishing a clear vision and roadmap for the Group’s services.
