As Executive Vice President for Strategy and M&A, Kevin drives M&A to dramatically expand and grow IMPEC's Workplace Management and CRE offerings, including Workplace Technology, Facility Operations, Construction/Project/Move Management, Placement & Staffing and Architectural Signage.

Before graduating Magna Cum Laude from Seattle University with a Special Projects major in the Psychology of Architecture, Kevin completed a National Science Foundation-funded Behavioral Science statistical comparison of four office environments - thought to be the first such study performed in this discipline. This study was recognized at EDRA's 50th anniversery convention and published in the proceedings. The outcome of this study is embedded below.

Kevin’s career commenced with CRE Director positions at Digital Equipment Corporation, Puget Energy and Atari, followed by the formation of his own brokerage company and finally three global executive positions where he ideated and lead International Corporate Services at Colliers-Jardine, Cushman & Wakefield and Newmark Cornish & Carey.

In these various roles, Kevin oversaw the construction of millions of square feet in fifty countries, pioneered international strategic planning and financial service groups for the brokerage industry and headed Corporate Services teams in EMEA, APAC and The Americas that serviced the global portfolio needs of companies such as General Motors, Ford, Coca Cola, Facebook, LinkedIn, Whirlpool, Microsoft, Bank of Boston, Disney, ACNielsen, Westinghouse and McGraw Hill.

Kevin was in high demand as a CoreNet instructor and business adviser and considered the singular authority on China and greater Asia commercial real estate in the 1990’s, even being tapped to assist Donald Trump in his early forays into Asia. Kevin won the San Francisco Business Times “Deal of the Year” in 2006 for the complex strategy that culminated in a 500,000 s.f. HQ lease for a prominent life sciences company.
