Kira Golenko: Moving to Win
Kira and I met at a friend’s party in New York City over a decade ago when we both had just started our careers in finance. We clicked immediately because not only were we both immigrants trying to find our place in the concrete jungle, but we also shared a similar level of ambition with the hope of creating our own legacies in the finance industry. About a decade later, we both found our place outside of finance.
