Bio

Results-focussed creative; kind but tough. A lynchpin; things get done when I'm around. Recent work includes: ● In collaboration with Punchdrunk, led design and delivery of one of the most innovative employee experiences for Netflix UK ● Coached and business partnered with exec level leaders, across sectors and industries, to improve team performance (qualified to use Enneagram, StrengthsFinder amongst and other coaching tools) ● Designed and produced OD and team effectiveness solutions, within a nuanced and matrixed leadership landscape at Netflix ● Consulted with Vodafone, Rolls-Royce, BBC Studios, PMI and others to deliver people initiatives within what were constantly changing business contexts. ● Led complex inclusion initiatives and forums across unique geographies (China, North America and Europe) at Improbable, during a time of deep social unrest, globally ● Designed company values from scratch at Lean Tech and Improbable ● Led large teams both in education sector and start-ups ---Extras---- Amidst my corporate endeavours, I'm a bit of a lay philosopher at heart. And so I have a soft spot for unconventional questions: If I were a superhero: I'd first be, Cable, the time-traveller: I'm a future focussed leader, who's had to learn how to be fully-present 2nd--Taskmaster: Well...I learn quickly! Like the heroes of our imagination, we all have a kind of ‘super power’ of sorts. My old boss once said to me, “Kenny, you’d be as comfortable speaking to the Bishop of Southwark as you would a street cleaner.” He was right — I'm good at building relationships, alliances and networks. If you could be an animal for 24 hrs, which would you choose and why? Back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle: I'd 100% be a Griffon. Strategic and courageous—I get to fiercly protect those I care about! If I ruled the world... Lets be glad I don’t. If I could receive feedback from anyone about something that went wrong... Dallas Willard, Irv Yalom- For the precision of their observations Florence Pugh - To remind me not to take myself too seriously! ☺️ Feedback I've actually received, that I'm most proud of... [From an Engineer] ''I'd like to call out Kenny as having made an amazing impact on our values...Kenny completely embodies the values and consistently takes on constructive feedback with grace. The world needs more people like Kenny..''
