Bio
Michael Morris
Kendra is a fun, positive, and driven individual who I had the pleasure of working closely with for 2 ½ years at Mead Products. She contributed to Mead's licensing program by growing the existing licensed portfolio, securing new business, balancing licensor and licensee expectations, and ensuring strategic goals were met. Not only did she excel at managing her own projects, but was a constant motivator and collaborator with her direct reports and coworkers. Kendra is a colleague who I still look to as a trusted business partner, industry expert, and dear friend.

Kendra was one of the smartest, creative, skilled, and positive people I have ever worked with. She could anticipate my needs and keep me organized. I valued her input and greatly appreciated her commitment, dedication, and loyalty. Kendra would be a tremendous asset for anyone's team.
