“Smart, thoughtful, articulate and a leader among his peers. These are the things I think of when I think of Kevin. He was a student of mine in a Leadership class for his MA in International Development while working full time in Liberia. His ability to integrate his development work with his school work made for really interesting leadership papers for me to read. Its been wonderful to watch him as he's transition to new leadership roles in other NGOs.”

"The goal of being a client-centric industry is a noble one. This goal must inevitably continue if we are ever to meet our aspirations of being a genuine double bottom line industry. However, as the industry shifts towards increasingly more financial intermediation, use of new technology and sophistication of balance sheets, the entire industry must take seriously a balanced approach that considers the risk implications of these and future developments."
