Owner, Founder, and Lead Advisor

LinkedIn

With roots in Nairobi, Kenya working alongside volunteer consultants taking a hiatus from McKinsey & Co, Kevin has honed his craft of empathetic leadership and strategic advising for nearly two decades. After obtaining his MBA from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business in 2013, Kevin led a series of management consulting engagements for Capgemini Consulting focused on change management, digital transformation, and supply chain optimization. Kevin then joined Amazon.com where he led product, technology and science teams for more than a decade. As top tier talent, Kevin had the freedom to follow his passions and spent the last six years of his career as a leader in the central sustainability science and technology organization.

In 2026, Kevin founded Elegance in Complexity, LLC to unlock his passion for tackling hard problems, cross industries, and create space for non-profit and start-up support services as well. Thus far in 2026, Kevin has overseen the launch of a telehealth medical practice, led strategic planning for a non-profit organization, designed a climate resilience module for a tech start-up, and advised multiple climate tech start-ups across insurance, measurement, geospatial, and regulatory landscapes.

Kevin keeps himself centered and happy first and foremost by prioritizing family and deep ecological connection. Kevin is an armature forager, long time runner, silent sport enthusiast, and musician. Kevin lives with his partner, two kids, and 13-year-old dog in Door County, Wisconsin where he can often be found at local coffeeshops dreaming up new ways to improve the community.
