Top SchoolYouri Tolstoy is a pragmatic technology leader and entrepreneur with 14 years of experience building and scaling fintech and consumer-facing products from idea to acquisition.

Comfortable across front‑end and backend concerns, he pairs formal engineering training with startup grit from multiple founding roles and a stint as CTO at a shared‑power startup.
