Since joining the company in April 2006 to lead the company’s sales and marketing efforts, Kevin’s role has expanded to include stewardship of the company’s business strategies as well as management of external relationships of all types. Kevin also handles the company’s legal matters as our in-house counsel.
In the mid-nineties, Kevin’s interest in the technology that makes practitioners more effective led him to transition from private law practice to a path that has combined his passion for and experience in sales with his legal expertise.
