Before joining Realization, Kevin dedicated 13 years to Pagemill Partners, the technology investment banking division of Kroll. During his tenure, he served as head of their global technology investment banking business and successfully closed transactions with companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, Vista, IBM, Salesforce, Thoma Bravo, Ubisoft, Autodesk, and SAP. Previous to Pagemill, Kevin spent six years doing software-focused M&A work at SVB Alliant / Alliant Partners while managing the firm's mobile investment banking practice. Prior to SVB Alliant, Kevin was a manager with Arthur Andersen's investment banking practice, where for three years he focused on executing M&A and placement transactions in the broader technology sector. Prior to Arthur Andersen, Kevin co-founded a government leased real estate company, giving him unique insights into the challenges and rewards of founding a business. Working with two colleagues, he raised and structured more than $100M in equity capital for the company, filed to take it public, and soon thereafter sold the business for over $400M to a public REIT while pricing the public offering. Kevin received his MBA in finance from American University in Washington D.C. and his undergraduate degree in finance from the University of Southern California.
