Background

Kirill is the co-founder and CEO of New Silver, a fintech lending platform for real estate investors. He holds an IT degree from Central Connecticut State University along with study at MIT. He's built and sold companies from both the buy and sell side of M&A, and he's most energized by zero-to-one growth — taking something from nothing to scale rather than running something already mature. That range across software, cloud infrastructure, and digital marketing is rare among operators who also understand how to build and exit a company.

Why American Operator

Kirill wants to put his tech, cloud, and digital marketing background to work in industries that rarely get that kind of expertise. He's drawn to American Operator's mission of keeping small businesses running and modernizing how they operate under new ownership. Manufacturing is where he sees the clearest fit for his skills, and he's genuinely energized by the challenge of learning a new industry from the operators running it.
