Yakir Gola

Yakir Gola is a second-generation immigrant who grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Yakir’s desire to pursue business started at home with a marketing gig for his father’s business and led him to Drexel University. There, he and Rafael Ilishayev drew up the early beginnings of Gopuff in Philly. The rest is history. goPuff now delivers everyday essentials, including over the counter medicines, drinks (and alcohol in select markets), food and more.
