Dimi Yar

Dimi Yar left the corporate world in 2022 to launch VOSA Income Inequality Solutions and later a "SHARE25" non-profit to advocate for Tenure-based Profit-Sharing as a better alternative to raising Taxes or Minimum Wages in a free-market economy that will unite rather than divide employees and employers around the common purpose of their enterprise, built on the foundation of respect, fair treatment, and fair pay.

Born and raised in the USSR, Yar immigrated to the US at the age of 20, graduated with Honors from the New York University’s Stern School of Business with Accounting and Finance degrees, and pursued a 25-year-long career in Finance Services with the world’s leading firms, such as PWC, Deutsche Bank, AIG, and Allianz, before realizing that he may have stumbled upon an elegant solution to the Income Inequality and Workforce crises, that has been absent from political and business debates. He was keen on raising awareness of this overlooked yet profound solution as part of the New Compensation Philosophy and the broader "Socio-Economic New Deal for the Free-Market Democracies".

Having lived and been successful in both worlds – the Soviet and American/European, Yar brings a nuanced yet profound understanding of the Pros and Cons of the Soviet style of Socialism and the American and European styles of Capitalism. Having lived through the break-up of the Soviet Union and looking back at his corporate experience, he urges not to lose hope for a better future and "give up" but instead use critical "first principles" thinking to understand the root causes of today’s crises and focus on finding and implementing meaningful solutions. He warns against falling into the view that "the grass is always greener on the other side" and insists that fixing what is broken is orders of magnitude easier than building something new just to be faced with new problems. His motto is to "Replace Problems with Solutions, not with Other Problems."

Yar has a strong following on LinkedIn, posting on topics of Pay Equity, Pay Transparency, Income Inequality crisis, Workforce, and other Socio-Economic crises, and frequently calls out Business and Political leaders on all sides of the political spectrum and socio-economic issues.

Yar appreciates intelligent, thoughtful debates and enjoys being challenged just as much as he enjoys challenging others. He believes that intellectually open and honest debates are the best and the fastest way to gain a deeper understanding of the topic and to find great solutions.
