Before joining Endeavor, Elmira was the Chief Spokesperson and Director of Press and Public Information at the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.

She also served on the negotiating team in the Office of the Special Cyprus Co-ordinator. She received her MA from Columbia University and BA from New York University. She has contributed to several books and publications and authored several book reviews and op-eds.
Ben Kaufman // Quirky
Ben dropped out of college because, well, he was smart enough to go from 0 to 60 and get down to business right away...which he first did by condomizing iPods over at mophie. But then he sold mophie and kicked it kluster style, giving mophiesque decision-making power to the people for anything at all (which he still does). And partnered up to start 27 threats on the PR front (which he still does). But with ADD sitting on his shoulder like a pirate's parrot, obviously 2 concurrent businesses weren't enough - so he started quirky (which is why we're all gathered here today). He works so hard he sleeps like a grandpa (8pm to 6am), but with our guidance and care we're starting to make him into the 22-year-old we all know he can be.
