Bikie Pental is a young entrepreneur whose formative years were immersed in a family business. Raised amidst the relentless work ethic of his father at the granite and marble business, Bikie’s dedication to hard work was cultivated at a young age. As a first-generation college student in the United States, he developed a strong interest in financial markets, corporate finance, and data analysis.
Graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Finance degree from Seattle University, Bikie continued his academic journey in the Bay Area, earning a Master of Science degree in Financial Analysis with a Merit Scholarship from the University of San Francisco. After graduating, Bikie joined Amazon as a Financial Analyst within the AWS division where he managed the finances of three high-growth ventures in the dynamic cloud computing space.
Bikie’s core values of continuous learning, teamwork, and effective communication continue to guide his approach to business and leadership. Growing up in a frugal environment, where he didn’t sleep on a real bed until the age of 14, he witnessed his family’s unwavering commitment to reinvesting in their business, teaching him the profound meaning of sacrifice, hard work, and patience. This lesson came to fruition when his father’s dream came true during the successful acquisition of the family business. Today, Bikie is poised to continue this legacy with the founding of Kandila Blinds & Shades. The company is a testament to its founders’ authenticity and Bikie is determined to make Kandila a lasting name within the window coverings industry.
