Kevin Howren's Linkedin Analytics

Hi! I'm Kevin Howren. I'm a technology leader with over 15 years of experience and a passion for leading scale-ups, hypergrowth and transitioning (lots of change) organizations. This is how Claude summarizes quotes about me from an array of former colleagues and team members: Kevin embodies exceptional leadership through a rare blend of technical expertise, interpersonal warmth, and strategic vision. His genuine care for each team member creates a foundation of trust, while his remarkable ability to maintain composure during crises provides stability when it's needed most. Team members consistently rely on Kevin's decisive judgment and technical insights to overcome complex challenges and roadblocks. What truly distinguishes his leadership is how he transcends traditional technical roles by collaborating effectively across the entire organization, breaking down silos that typically hinder progress. His business acumen complements his technical knowledge, enabling him to contribute strategically at the executive level with perspectives that integrate technology with broader organizational goals. These combined qualities make Kevin not merely valuable but essential to the executive leadership team, someone who elevates both his immediate team and the organization as a whole.
