Dream Finance OU, the entity behind CryptoProcessing, welcomes Jelena Zolotenko to its Management Board of Directors.
Zolotenko brings over a decade of experience in risk management, compliance, and AML across European financial institutions.
In her new role, Jelena will contribute her expertise in regulatory strategy and licensing, KYC/AML frameworks under EU and Estonian legislation, and compliance with MiCA, DORA, EMD2 and PSD2 areas of direct relevance as the payments industry navigates an increasingly complex regulatory landscape across Europe and beyond.
Before joining us, Jelena held senior roles at KIT Finance Europe (8+ years as Risk Manager and Deputy Head of Compliance), BTCBIT.NET (MLRO), FUNDAUS (Risk Manager / CRO) and as Management Board member responsible for compliance and AML at KAURIFINANCE AS. She is currently finalising her involvement with the ixmoney.com as a Management Board Member and will be fully engaged in the CryptoProcessing activities. She’s spent her career making sure financial institutions stay compliant, secure, and built to last.
Her focus now: MiCA. We’re in the process of securing our MiCA license, and Jelena will be driving that effort end-to-end: from application through approval.
Jelena’s track record speaks for itself, she’s navigated complex licensing processes before, and that’s exactly the experience we need as we move through MiCA,
I’m joining at a pivotal moment for the company, and I’m looking forward to helping steer the MiCA application process through to approval
She holds a degree in Accounting and Economics from the University of Southampton, plus certifications in financial crime prevention and transaction monitoring. She is also in the process of obtaining the ICA Certification for Internal Auditors and is a member of the IIA Estonia.
