He has a proven track record of leading strategic initiatives and major systems implementations that drive business and technology transformation. At Transform, Kevin works as a direct extension of senior leaders – helping organizations connect strategy, operating models, technology, performance, and delivery across organizational boundaries.

From 2013 through 2021, Kevin served as Deputy Chief Information Officer for the Georgia Secretary of State, where he helped drive organizational, process, and policy transformation while implementing major systems improvements for the State's constituents. He spearheaded the initial assessment of the Professional Licensing Boards that established the foundation for broader modernization across the Professional Licensing Boards, Corporations, and Elections Divisions, including the development of an integrated portal serving professionals, businesses, and constituents.

Earlier in his career, Kevin served on Align Technology's executive team with responsibility for operations and technology, helping position the company for early funding and its eventual initial public offering. Kevin subsequently served as a Principal Consultant and Senior Advisor across operations, product management, supply chain, automation, and technology.

Kevin lives in Atlanta with his wife where their household has almost always included rescue dogs or cats – and sometimes both. An avid reader and book collector, Kevin's interests range from mysteries and biographies to business, history, space exploration, and NASA. He loves traveling and exploring new places, Auburn and SEC football, running and the occasional 5K, and spending time outdoors. When he's home, Kevin can usually be found working on a house or yard project, tackling something that probably would have been easier to hire someone else to do.
