I worked side-by-side with Ken to build the EMEA business at FortressIQ. It was evident from Day One that Ken's drive and ambition, coupled with his experience and contacts throughout various industries would help the business scale at a far easier rate than would ordinarily be expected. Ken is also very collaborative and works well with his ecosystem to ensure the very best for both customers but also the company. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Ken for any sales leadership role or where a company needs to scale their business in EMEA.

George Gallegos

Ken is a top performer and very focused on building long term relationships. A real pleasure to work with and attentive to the rigor and details of the sales process. Customers, colleagues and partners all love him. He will be a great sales leader.
