Kevin was head of G7 and worldwide content at Medley Global Advisors between 2000 and 2007. As a colleague and fellow member of the original group who joined MGA at its inception in 1998, Kevin played a critical role in building Medley up to become the preeminent source of macro policy intelligence to financial institutions and governments, leading to its eventual sale to outside investors.
