Emirjon Lleshi

My name is Emirjon Lleshi and I come from Mirdita, Albania. I hold a master’s degree in Accounting and Auditing. Over the last three years, I’ve been working for the largest business organisation in Albania – the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Tirana – as a Finance Project Manager. As my work allows me to build a large network of contacts from across different entrepreneurial sectors, I’ve used this opportunity to support young people and my peers in either sourcing for investors, or promoting their innovative ideas at a start-up level. In April 2019, I was assigned by the CCIT to support my colleagues in organising the Patras IQ Event, where many young Albanians promoted their ‘Agricultural Innovation Ideas.’ It makes me feel good when I’m able to assist Albanian young people who want to enter the world of business. During my years of study and work, I’ve attended a number of training sessions and events related to my profession, as well as to leadership abilities. I’m obsessed with all things related to nature and I spend my free time exploring it.
