Experience and Expertise

Kevin brings with him over 25 years of rich professional experience in both the nonprofit and corporate sectors. His career is driven by an unwavering passion to serve. At New York Life Insurance Company, he developed award-winning corporate responsibility programmes. At AARP Foundation, he created groundbreaking intervention initiatives in Chicago’s inner-city public schools.

In Kevin’s own words, “I am delighted to join the dynamic team at Chapel & York, the market leader in international fundraising. As a trusted partner, the Chapel & York US Foundation is a critical resource, helping non-US organisations effectively access US donors and maximise support for their work.
