Kevin has extensive entrepreneurial and private investment experience in a range of technology and social enterprises. Kevins former positions include CEO of Net Market Makers, an $18 million revenue online community, research and events company, which was sold to Jupiter Media Metrix in 2000, having built Net Market Makers into the largest brand in business-to-business internet commerce.

His previous six businesses all achieved market dominance before he left or sold them. In addition to starting businesses from scratch, Kevin is also adept at turnarounds. One, the Mississippi Business Journal had failed five times and was losing money in the face of two better-funded and more powerful rivals. Within three years, both rivals were out of business and the franchise was extended into local television, syndicated radio, trade shows and conferences. In addition, Kevin has been a columnist for Forbes and Business 2.0.

Kevin has been on the boards of Social Enterprise Alliance, the association of non profit social enterprises, and Social Venture Partners International, a network of engaged philanthropy circles. Kevin also led a malaria project in Zwaziland and Mozambique, working with Jeff Sachs of The Earth Institute at Columbia University. Finally, during his 20 year business career in Mississippi he worked with his wife to build the largest per capita chapter of Habitat for Humanity in the U.S., building more than 300 houses and creating a revolving, no-interest loan for bank participation that became a national model.
