“Kevin and I worked together in NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division on various NATO events and projects. Kevin is a results-oriented leader and problem solver. He finds innovative solutions and motivates others around him. When office politics or other obstacles threaten a project, Kevin has the ability to bring a team together, bridge differences and see a project through to the end. I always looked forward to working with Kevin, and I would highly recommend him to any company or organization. ”
