Bio:
Rob is originally from London, England and studied Modern Languages at university, specializing in German, Italian and Russian. After graduation in 2004, he moved into financial services and began working at Goldman Sachs in London on an anti-money laundering research project, before moving into a risk monitoring role in the Operations division in 2005. During his 4 years in that role, he monitored the firm's exposure to hedge fund clients in the margin business. After transferring to the Hong Kong office in 2007, he left Goldman Sachs in 2009 to join the Kiva Fellows Program and move into the microfinance field. He has been interested in the field for a number of years and is excited to put his financial services and language experience to good use with Kiva and his fellowship in Kyrgyzstan. After his fellowship in Kyrgyzstan, he will move to Latin America for a second placement with Kiva.
