ABOUT THE TEAM

Think Albania is led by Nicholas (Nick) Gjokaj, a US-born entrepreneur. Nick was motivated to start Think Albania after visiting the country for the first time in 15 years in 2019 and seeing first-hand all the untapped potential in the people.

Prior to founding Think Albania, Nick was a member of the founding team at a venture-backed start-up in Silicon Valley. He oversaw the growth of the business from three ambitious teammates in a bedroom to nearly 100 team members worldwide. Before diving into the start-up world, Nick advised executives at Fortune 500 companies with the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company.

Nick holds an MBA from Duke University, a BA from Arizona State University, and previously served two years with the US Peace Corps in Ecuador.
