Bio
Charles Derrac
Very proactive could very well describe Kevin. I met him in Kuwait while he was working for The Business Year. He reached out to me at the French Embassy because he wanted to promote French companies here in Kuwait, which of course we really encourage. We therefore partnered and collaborated on numerous occasions where I was pleased to observe his analytical skills in addition to his strong expertise in business and economics and politics. The fact that he perfectly speaks French, Spanish and English also allows him to easily communicate with an international audience and C-Levels executives with whom he created strong business ties along the way. I therefore highly recommend him for any business development position he might apply for.
Jean Pierre Salendres
The company I worked for when I managed Kevin hired him because of his stellar academic performance and multiple degrees achieved in multiple countries. Our work involved everyday meetings with the highest executives in Mexico City in sectors spanning energy, finance, insurance, agriculture, and IT. Kevin is a fast learner who quickly rose at the top of the project and took over my role when I accepted a new project in Morocco. His enthusiasm and knowledge about the economy of emerging markets made him an invaluable asset for the teams he worked for from Colombia and Mexico to Kuwait. As his manager, I would often hear positive feedback from high level executives and his canny attention to detail earned him accolades during meetings. I highly recommend Kevin for competitive posts that require an individual capable of taking full ownership of projects and seeing them through successfully.
