I worked very closely with Kevin Mergruen for fifteen plus years at Information Builders. I had a marketing role i.e., Head of Content, and Kevin was the VP of Sales. Kevin ran multiple vertical sales businesses including State and Local Government, Law Enforcement, Education, and Healthcare. Kevin was outstanding at his job and the driving force in the creation of successful software packages and in generating leads. Kevin grew revenues across all of his vertical businesses. This was easy for Kevin because he has all of the characteristics of a successful software executive i.e., perseverance, determination, dedication, stamina, and persistence and character. What makes him much better than most is a "stick-to-itiveness" that he brings to all of his endeavors! I highly recommend Kevin, my hope is that our paths will cross again, because Kevin was such a pleasure to work with!
