Nice People

  • “Kenny has a rare blend of tech startup savviness and corporate know-how. I worked with Kenny at TCF and Firmspace and he's shown a strong aptitude to solving any change. What I like about Kenny is that he rolls up his sleeves, doesn't stop learning, and applies cross-industry and cross-category experience to create innovation in anything that he does. If Kenny was a restaurant on Yelp, I would give him 5 stars.”

    – Rob Wu, CEO, CauseVox

  • “Kenny is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is consistently pitching new ideas, strategies and just overall keeping an eye on the retail and ecommerce industry. He is one of the unique ones out there who has started his own company, has seen the ins and outs of what that means and what entrepreneurs need –– then he is able to translate that information into actionable, educational content that speaks to other business owners in their own language and helps them to succeed. I'd keep an eye on him if I were you.”

    – Tracey Wallace, Marketing Expert

  • “Many non-profits are time and cash-constrained. Kenny’s writing teaches non-profits how to operate efficiently and best put their limited resources to use.”

    — Wade Foster, CEO at Zapier

    — Candace Cody, Community Boost Consulting
