Kevin has over 25 years of experience in public affairs in both private and public organizations, particularly in the energy and healthcare sectors.

Before joining Global Public Affairs through its acquisition of m5 Public Affairs, Kevin worked in community and stakeholder engagement for an energy regulator. Engaging with energy consumers, system stakeholders, community leaders and elected officials, he was responsible for providing key information on the organization’s role in regulating the energy sector, and how each group was protected by and could participate in the process.

Past experience also includes several years serving as a key advisor to successive ministers of the Nova Scotia Government in key government departments, but most notably health.
