“Premal brings all of the skills and abilities of a driven, accomplished silicon valley entrepreneur to the unique organization of Kiva. As an entrepreneur, Premal already has the essential characteristics: smart and analytic, fast and responsive, intelligent risk taking, focus. He applies those essential characteristics to Kiva in that he also understands and cares about the *marketplace* of micro-finance, changing the world through enabling entrepreneurs -- and thus making real sustainable inroads to the problem of poverty. Finally, and not least, he's also a pleasure to work with a second time.”
