Kevin is a Partner at Erevena and joined in 2013. He has 20+ years of experience in international executive search as a founder member of two technology search businesses: Lonmoor and Quorum International (sold to Kenexa in April 2008).
Kevin works with clients across the entire technology ecosystem; his recent clients are a mix of early stage and VC-backed businesses such as DevicePilot (IoT Platform), Thingtrax (IoT Platform), and Diffblue (AI for code) as well as high-growth and scaled portfolio companies for Private Equity firms such Marlin Equity Partners, The Carlyle Group, Bridgepoint, Vista Equity Partners, Bain Capital, Livingbridge, Francisco Partners, Warburg Pincus, Bregal Milestone, Capital D, Inflexion, Highland Europe and Goldman Sachs.
Kevin specializes in Board, General Management and Commercial Leadership roles for Technology, Enterprise Software & Services firms across EMEA.
He holds a degree in French, German and European Economic Studies from Bath University.
There is an undeniable link between the ultimate success of a business and the quality, diversity and suitability of its people. Our role as Executive Search Consultants is to ensure that we maintain the deep domain expertise and candidate networks, who, aside from having the raw skills required in a role, will also bring the situational experience and diversity of thinking that will help a business to excel. I find it equally exciting and intellectually stimulating to advise and support Private Equity investors and portfolio company Executives, as they build the teams required to take their business on the next leg of its journey.
