Bio
Michael Margolese
Insulin Algorithms has worked with Ken since we started our business. Ken is one of the most creative and hard working technology professionals I have ever met. Simply put if he does not know a subject area he goes and learns it. He has a very sharp mind and a deep knowledge of many subject areas. His work on our FDA documentation and software testing was invaluable. Ken also helped developed programs and business strategy for some IoT projects we worked on as well. I am proud to call Ken a colleague and a friend.
George H. Moseman
I worked with Ken extensively for ten years while he was at Ambassador Worldwide Services, and before that at Vision Communication. It is a pleasure to recommend him. Ken has brilliant insights into international trade, is a talented negotiator, and demonstrates competence in diverse industries and environments. His intelligence is obvious, but what becomes clear over time is that he is consistently original in thoughts and assessments. He is truly an out-of-the-box thinker. In my experience, Ken is a great asset to every organization he works with or affiliates with.
