Inna Kinney is the Founder and CEO of Economic and Community Development Institute, Inc. (ECDI). Established in 2004, ECDI is one of the top U.S. SBA intermediary microlenders with a mission to invest in people to create measurable and enduring social and economic change. ECDI provides responsible, affordable lending and comprehensive small business development services to help underbanked people and communities across Ohio join the economic mainstream. Inna’s passion for economic development began in 1974 as she and her family became the first family resettled in Columbus from the former Soviet Union. Despite being new to the country and having limited English proficiency, Kinney’s family was able to achieve the American dream by starting a family business. She continues to teach these values through her work at ECDI and through her 3 children. Kinney serves the community as part of many local and national boards. Currently, she sits on the board of the Columbus Jewish Foundation and is a member of the Huntington National Community Advisory Council.
