Throughout his career, Kevin has focused on humanizing business through customer-centric storytelling and disciplined innovation. He has built scalable programs that turn strategy into action: shaping brand narratives, generating qualified demand, equipping sales teams, and amplifying market presence through digital content and public relations. His work consistently bridges creativity and rigor — ensuring ideas survive contact with the field.

Kevin is deeply engaged with emerging technologies and their practical application. He is particularly energized by the rise of AI-powered tools that lower barriers, accelerate execution, and allow strong ideas to win on merit.

As a leader, Kevin operates as a true player-coach. His style is hands-on, human, and accountable — grounded in integrity, grit, and genuine connection. He is known for building trust with teams and for staying close to the work, whether launching a campaign, mentoring leaders, or aligning cross-functional groups around a shared outcome.

Kevin’s industry experience spans telecommunications, data storage and infrastructure services, geospatial mapping, web hosting, data center services, physical security, AI, software platforms, and cloud services. He has operated at both global and local levels and is comfortable collaborating across the U.S. and Europe.
