Fintech Has A Clear Connection To Improving People's Lives, Says Morningstar's Tricia Rothschild

 

She sings, speaks Russian, studied the Soviet empireโ€™s fall to free market forces in person and worked as an interpreter in Lithuania. She isnโ€™t averse to taking career advice from her kids.

 

โ€œI came from a small town in the middle of Wisconsin and there wasnโ€™t anything interesting,โ€ she said. โ€œI wanted to do the most exotic thing I could.โ€

"Rothschild didnโ€™t follow a traditional career path in college. She got her undergraduate degree in media studies and communication from Northwestern University, then got her masterโ€™s at Indiana University in Russian and Eastern European Economics in 1990โ€“92.

 

She traveled to the region during a period when the centrally planned economies of the Soviet bloc were collapsing in the face of massive protests and free market forces. She worked as an interpreter for a Lithuanian government official who later became president, who was then forced out in a corruption scandal."

Rolandas Paksas, President of Lithuania, Removed Due To Yies To Russian Mafia

 

On 26 February 2003 his term as a President began. During his term, concerns arose that he had ties to the Russian mafia. Yuri Borisov, president of the aviation company Avia Baltika, had donated $400,000 to his campaign, and was given Lithuanian citizenship by Paksas' decree. This decree was later ruled to be unconstitutional by Constitutional Court of Lithuania. Paksas' connections were investigated by the Department of Security. In early 2004, the Seimas started impeachment proceedings against him. On 31 March 2004 the Constitutional Court of Lithuania found him guilty of violating the constitution and his oath of office.[9] On 6 April 2004, the Parliament (Seimas) voted on three charges: that he had leaked classified information about his investigation to Borisov; that he had improperly restored Borisov's citizenship; and that he had interfered in a privatization transaction.The vote passed, effectively removing Paksas from the presidency.

Odd couple at center of Russian helicopter inquiry

 

Yuri Borisov's performance on a lucrative U.S. military contract was dismal โ€” cost overruns, blown deadlines, forged paperwork.

 

Yet that didn't keep the Russian entrepreneur from winning more business with the Department of Defense, according to interviews and documents obtained by The Associated Press.

 

Borisov, who specializes in refurbishing Russian Mi-17 helicopters, had an ally in Bert Vergez, an Army colonel who ran an obscure defense acquisition office in Huntsville, Ala.

In Lithuania, Borisov is well known for his flamboyant lifestyle and a scandal that led to the impeachment in 2004 of Lithuania's president, Rolandas Paksas. Borisov was the top financial backer of Paksas's election campaign. He contributed $400,000.

 

The president's troubles began after police alleged that Borisov was in cahoots with the Russian mafia. Paksas's political career fell apart after telephone calls secretly recorded by the state security department became public during the Lithuanian parliament's impeachment proceedings. In one, Borisov is allegedly caught speaking with reputed Russian mob bosses.

 

Borisov and Paksas denied all the accusations. No charges were filed against Borisov, but the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania's capital, kept a close eye on him. When AviaBaltika applied to the Lithuanian government in 2005 for a license to train Iranian helicopter pilots, Tom Kelly, then the embassy's deputy chief of mission, alerted State Department officials in Washington.

 

Kelly called AviaBaltika "infamous" in a cable published by the Wikileaks website. The Lithuanian government, Kelly wrote, understood the license request "is likely to set off alarms in Washington, and wants to make sure we have a chance to affect" the decision. The U.S. recommended the request be denied. It was.

 

But warnings about Borisov's companies appear to have slipped through the cracks. By 2008, AviaBaltika and SPARC were part of an umbrella contract to support U.S. counterterrorism activities held by defense industry giant Northrop Grumman and managed by a Navy office in Dahlgren, Va.
