My path to success began 8,000 miles away in Addis Ababa, the bustling capital city of Ethiopia. Born and raised in this cultural hotbed, I spent most of my adolescence working for my father’s conglomerate business, learning firsthand the pros and cons of laboring for yourself. I chose to come to the U.S. for my college education and graduated from Maryland’s own Towson University. After finishing school, I started navigating the entrepreneurship dream in my one-bedroom apartment while maintaining a full-time job. Moderate success prompted me to seek a temporary leave of absence from my job and, once I was able to focus solely on growing my business, there has been no looking back.Within a matter of only a few short years, Star Financial became one of the largest ATM services and equipment providers in the Baltimore Washington Region.An advocate of integrity and outstanding service, I am proud to operate my minority-owned business around these core principles.Founded in 2007 and based in Elkridge, Star Financial currently owns and operates ATMs in the Baltimore – Washington corridor, and a nationwide electronic payment infrastructure.
