Steve Colwill

Kevin worked with me advising the senior management and commercial teams at Velocimetrics for a number of years, having previously got to know him whilst he was CEO at ITRS. Kevin's industry knowledge and connections in the UK fintech scene helped us tremendously in piloting the business to an eventual successful sale. Kevin's depth of experience and wise advice when formulating management decisions made him indispensable and also a genuine pleasure to work with. I'd recommend him wholeheartedly.

Scott Newham

We were very fortunate to find Kevin and have him join our fledgling business. Initially it was to advise us on developing the sales organisation but it soon became apparent that Kevin was someone we could entrust as CEO. He is an excellent listener who hones in on the essential points and has the intuition to read the situation well. Kevin is a doer who rolls up his sleeves and sees things through to the end. He helped guide Metamako from a handful of people to a global organisation and he was tireless in helping us successfully complete the acquisition of Metamako by Arista Networks. He has always acted with integrity and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
