Meet Igor Kurganov, a poker mastermind and philanthropist, whose strategic prowess extends beyond the poker table to the realm of effective altruism.
A high-stakes tournament specialist, Kurganov is known for his calm demeanor and his significant impact both on and off the felt. With over $18 million in poker winnings, his transition from poker to philanthropy is marked by his co-founding of Raising for Effective Giving (REG), an organization that employs the principles of effective altruism to maximize charitable impact (888 Poker).
Beyond the poker accolades, Igor Kurganov's intellect and analytical skills caught the attention of none other than Elon Musk, entrusting him with the critical task of navigating Musk’s philanthropic efforts.
His role involves scrutinizing and selecting the most impactful charities, applying the same methodical and empathetic approach that he's known for at the poker table. This synergy of logic, empathy, and a thorough understanding of human motivation makes Kurganov a unique bridge between the worlds of high-stakes poker and high-impact philanthropy (888 Poker).
