He is one of the best leaders I've ever worked for and would work with him again with no reservations. He has great vision and ability to build a cohesive and realistic strategy that can executed. He is able to pull together team members to follow his vision without being a micromanager. He is able to be involved enough to keep a finger on the pulse and make course corrections as needed. He has great interpersonal skills that make it easy for him to build rapport at all levels. He has a strong risk and security background that allows him to understand and adapt to the evolving threat landscape. As a leader he understands there are plenty of topics that he is not an expert in that he will have to delegate and rely on team members to be successful. However that doesn't mean that he can't be a technical. He has proven through incidents and engineering efforts to be a quick speed on architectural, engineering and operational aspects of a security program. The literal "I know enough to be dangerous" but he doesn't act on it. He would rather delegate and depend on the strengths of his team members to get him through it." and "Kevin is a very pragmatic Risk Management and Cyber Security Executive. He has the enviable ability to be able to set strategy while also able to lead his team to successful execution. Kevin has a history of delivering to commitments. Where Kevin really excels is his ability at building cross-functional working teams to proactively mitigate IT risks and address vulnerabilities. Kevin takes a systematic, intentional approach to ensure risks do not turn into issues. Most importantly, Kevin’s approachability, sense of humor and leadership skills make him fun to work with.
