Oleksiy Slyepukhov is a Member Services Representative in our North York branch and has been with Ukrainian Credit Union Limited since the spring of 2010. Before coming to Ukrainian Credit Union Limited, Oleksiy worked as an Investment Advisor’s Associate at RBC Dominion Securities.

Oleksiy was born in Kyiv where he took an active part in the rapidly emerging “civil society” of the last two decades. He attended the School of Journalism in Kyiv, sang in a rock-n-roll band called Krepatura and took part in several theatrical groups that focused on modern comedic plays.

Oleksiy is a bit of a history buff and enjoys experiencing total immersion in historical events. While living in Kyiv, he participated in a historical role playing group that recreated famous historical battles such as the Battle of Falkirk in which William Wallace clashed with the dastardly King Edward I of England.

After graduating from university, Oleksiy worked for a time as a graphic designer. He also moonlighted as a croupier and cashier at the River Palace Casino in Kyiv and later, upon his move to Canada, at the Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry Ontario.

Oleksiy also has an interest in martial arts and studies a form of boxing called Muay Thai. He’s been at it for the past two years and often takes part in in-house competitions at the gym to which he belongs.

He is continuing his studies at Ryerson University, majoring in Finance (Investments).
