Bio:
Boris Mordkovich is a serial entrepreneur who has launched and sold several successful technology and media start-ups. The first time he came across Kiva, he couldn't get it out of his mind for weeks and knew that he wanted to get involved with the organization and in micro-finance. A year after the initial encounter, he sold his latest business and signed up to become a Kiva Fellow. He is excited about contributing to Kiva, learning first-hand about the impact of micro-finance, and the unknown that lies ahead. Boris is fluent in Russian, loves long-distance bicycle touring and enjoys starting new businesses and working.
