Bio
Ivan Lim, IHRP-CP
Kevin is possibly the best colleague I have worked with throughout my career. He exudes a high level of professionalism and service that is rare these days. It comes natural to Kevin in wanting to do better for his clients and to improve the environment he is in wherever he is. Kevin is someone who isn’t shy to speak his mind and often at the core of helping teams to improve. The most important traits Kevin has are Integrity, morality and sincerity. These are important in creating strong long term relationships and Kevin is a natural. I would highly recommend Kevin wherever he goes.
Ivan O.
If you judge Kevin based on his academic qualifications, then you are missing out on a gem and a true asset to your organization. I know Kevin for a year and counting. Hunting in Business Development can be one of the most daunting task for most. But Kevin has all the right approaches and ideas to bring new logos into the organization he works for, let alone to the next level. He has been much of an inspiration to me with the approach of Business Development. And in my opinion, he can bring any dying business back to life, and thrive. He is someone who thinks on his feet, putting customer's interests in first place and also protecting the integrity of the company he works for. Product knowledge can be taught, but ideas, skills and versatility, are the trinity of a good Business Development Manager that Kevin possess. I would vouch for this man, that again, he is a true asset of a business.
Jack Lim
During the time that Kevin and I worked together, I found him to be very efficient and a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. Though he was an asset to MJI's marketing efforts, Kevin was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to writing effective training modules for sales representatives, Kevin assumed a leadership role in sales meetings, inspiring and motivating other colleagues. Kevin is a very talented sales representative and I have no hesitation in recommending him highly and pound under his lead.
