Vladimir Brodski

Vladimir Brodski operates at board level, contributing to the governance and strategic development of European fintech companies and banks. His work sits at the intersection of risk, compliance, corporate governance, and the launch of new regulated business lines.

He currently leads risk and compliance at the group level and serves on the Board of Directors of Vivid Money in the Netherlands and in Luxembourg. In parallel, he advises the Board of Directors of bunq B.V.

His scope of responsibility includes corporate governance, business model resilience, and engagement with regulators — areas that are particularly critical for digital banks and fast-growing financial platforms. He is responsible for risk and compliance across the group, covering payments, investments, and crypto-related activities. His remit also includes international expansion: setting up branches, as well as supporting new licences.

His career has been shaped within the financial sector through senior management roles, where the focus gradually shifts from operational execution to strategic decision-making and control. He has worked on initiatives requiring a clear understanding of both banking fundamentals and the technological environment in which fintech continues to evolve.

Earlier in his career, he worked at Revolut, where he first built the group treasury function as a standalone capability, and later set up and led the group risk management. Prior to that, he headed Treasury and Global Markets at East-West United Bank in Luxembourg, was responsible for group treasury at LIFE Financial Group, and held roles across treasury, market risk, and structured products at Amsterdam Trade Bank, Kempen & Co, Robeco, and Rabobank International.

Vladimir Brodski is valued as an independent contributor to governance processes, able to align the interests of shareholders, management, and regulators. His work is not about formal risk control as such, but about building functions, teams, and governance frameworks without which scaling a financial institution is simply not possible.
