He as a "feel" for how companies act which is a valuable addition to any department." and "Ken joined Intuit at unique time in it's history. The platform transition was in full-swing, the geographic maturation (US-centric to Global) was in its infancy, and these two forces combined to expose Intuit and its core businesses to a wide expanse of new competitors. This new competitive environment magnified the need for a strong Competitive Intelligence operation and for our QuickBooks businesses that relatively new role was filled by Ken. He was methodical with his learning plan to understand the complexities of the business and competitive environment and confidently took ownership of tracking and refining key business KPIs, presented to the CEO and his staff, used to benchmark the versus global competition. Building upon his early successes he built strong local and global relationships to become an integral thought partner for and frequently collaborator with leadership, marketers, product leaders, and our sales teams providing them with a synthesis of actionable and insightful data from multiple sources drove forward the experiences we were delivering to our customers and our business as a whole. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ken myself and would highly recommend him any chance I could within the walls and outside the walls of Intuit. "
