Biography

Oleg Boyko's private equity firm Finstar Financial currently manages and consults portfolio companies operating in 30+ countries.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, his mother who held all of his shares in fintech 4Finance gave 9.9% each to Ukrainian relatives and a nonprofit in Switzerland.

She sold the rest of the family's 4Finance stake to four new, non-Russian minority shareholders.

Boyko opened Moscow's first stores with credit card readers in the 1990s.

In 2002 Boyko invested in a Moscow chain of gambling venues and founded Ritzio Entertainment Group, which invested in casinos and gambling.

When gambling was banned, Boyko sold his Russian gambling assets and moved into gambling in the European Union.
