Sy Belohlavek is from Columbus, Ohio but has had the privilege of living and working in Kyrgyzstan the past 5 years laying the foundation for his business, June Cashmere. His motivation to get involved in this project developed as a result of having a business degree, a longstanding interest in other cultures, and a desire to leverage commercial activity to help address issues of disparity and disadvantage around the world. Sy now runs a start-up in a place of the world he had previously known little about and is building a value chain that spans three continents.
