worked for this organization net receivables have increased from a few
hundred million to nearly two billion and net income has increased from
a few million to in excess of $50 million. These accomplishments would

interested in an experienced leader in the areas of marketing,
operations management or risk analytics. I worked closely with Kevin
throughout his career at GE. I partnered with Kevin when he was
Strategic Marketing Leader for our Lower Middle Market Finance business.
I worked on projects with Kevin when he was a Six Sigma leader, and I
worked closely with Kevin when he led our Risk Analytics team. In all my
dealings with Kevin, I found him to be extremely capable and a pleasure
to work with. There is no one better at analyzing processes and data
than Kevin. He demonstrated a keen ability to apply his core skills and
succeed in three very different functional areas (Marketing, Risk and
Quality) at GE.”
