Owner at Cardais Management Advisory

"Kevin is intelligent, results-oriented and dedicated to the quality of his work and the work of those he manages. He's a multi-facted manager with a wide variety of skills that set him apart from the pack. He sets goals for himself and his colleagues and he does everything in his power to achieve these goals. Kevin successfully led a team of approximately 40 engineers through a difficult period requiring significant cultural changes resulting in a dramatic increase in new product introductions. Kevin is an easy guy to work with. Colleagues and customers especially like working with Kevin. Kevin has a unique skill; he listens. When dealing with customers, he can empathize with the customer's needs while still representing the company. I can recommend Kevin without any qualifications in a management role; especially in technology and especially in roles involving extensive contact with customers." 

Scott managed Kevin at Hand Held Products

Owner, Intellicon Pvt Ltd

"As SBU head at Hand Held products, Kevin interacted with us purely on large projects. During this interaction I have found Kevin to leave no stone unturned to be able to secure the business fully taking the time to understand the ground realities which are drastically different in India as opposed to other parts of the world. Only after assessing these at a micro level has he built a strategy to address the market and not done so purely on other markets. I have found him to be extremely dedicated to his responsibility and would not back down till every angle of the problem was looked into, addressed and a solution given.  Given his commitment levels and his history at Hand Held Products he surely is an asset to the organization."

R&D Project Director

"Kevin joined Brown and Sharpe right out of college and had little practical design and company experience. I was very surprised at his ability to learn quickly and participate as a team member. He had a very high sense of ethics and worked well with everyone. I found him extremely bright and eager to learn about electrical development and our industry at that time. He was very mature for his age and had a good balance of confidence and humor. I would highly recommend Kevin and would hire or work with him without hesitation."
