About Me

My name is Dmytro, but nobody would pronounce that, hence “Dima“.

Born in the heart of Ukraine (my neighbour would be Taras Schevchenko; if you know, you know :)

I have spent close to 10 years in the UK, and after passing the test about wives of Henry VIII, I am legally a Brit now, thank you very much and pass me that cuppa tea.

I had a good career in tech consulting, growing a local Ukrainian practice to a team of 300+ with operations around the world. Most of my work was to do with digital banking, I guess I am a bit of an expert. I am currently the founder of GoSolo, a UK neo-banking app that offers a complete service for local traders, from starting a business to getting paid in the easiest way.

Beyond banking, I am a big fan of Formula 1 (Williams!), Football (Chelsea!) and running. Running helps me as a startup founder: running hard helps me to clear my mind from worries, and running easy helps generate great ideas. I picked up running to keep some health demons away and am really enjoying it. My affirmation for 2024 is to run 1000 km.

I live in West Sussex, not far from Brighton and The South Downs National Park
