Rama held a conversation with Kevin Sekniqi, listed by “Forbes” magazine as one of the under 30-year-olds who are at the peak of success in the financial world.

Sekniqi said that his ranking was out of the blue, because he had not expected to be included in the list of “Forbes” magazine.

“I was interviewed by them. I answered some questions, later I found out that it was in a list that I didn’t know anything about. But it’s an interesting list, yet it’s just the beginning of this story,” he said.

“I was in recognition of the business work I have done at Ava Labs, the impact I have delivered in the field of cryptocurrencies, especially in the development of technology that we have done in our company at Ava Labs, which is Avalanch’s block-chain. It is one of the most used blockchains,” said Sekniqi.
“The story begins 30 years ago in 1993. I was born in Montenegro, but my parents are from Shkodra. My father is of Montenegrin origin, my mother from Shkodra 100%. I grew up here as a child, I spent a few years in Italy, but I spent most of my childhood years in Albania until I was 14 years old. I have always wanted to do a start-up business. I have always admired Bill Gates, he has been my idol ever since I was little and by chance we went to the US when I was 14 years old for a wedding. I saw New York and said I will live here,” said Sekniqi.
“Later on, I moved to New York for a little over 10 years, completed high school, university, PhD, and there later I met my colleague and we continued to do the technology project we have at the company.”
He said that his bond with Albania is fantastic.
“Tirana has developed beyond recognition. Truth be told, it is the city that has developed the most. It’s been a while since I have been in the south. I have gone to Shkodra, which I think has a long way to go,” said Sekniqi.
