Description
Kevin has spent his entire career to date in the automotive industry in a variety of increasingly senior roles with OEMs, service providers and the automotive practices of major consulting firms.   We talk about why, following graduation, he chose to join Austin Rover and why he ultimately chose to leave, his experiences in professional services with KPMG and the incredible customer service ethos at the RAC. He shares moments of good and bad luck that shaped his career.   Kevin is the leader who first took a chance on me and accepted me into our industry at the age of 28, when I had no previous automotive experience. You'll hear how I may have given him cause to question his decision on my very first day. I'll always be grateful for his open minded attitude to hiring and the opportunities that his decision opened up for me. I'm pleased to be able to celebrate his career and to introduce him to you in this episode and I look forward to hearing what resonates with you.  If you enjoy listening to my guests career stories, please follow CAREER-VIEW MIRROR in your podcast app.   You can contact Kevin via LinkedIn.  Why not follow us on Instagram @careerviewmirror where you can see a directory of all our episodes and comment on those you have enjoyed?    This episode of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR is brought to you by Aquilae.   Aquilae's mission is to enable Fulfilling Performance in the mobility industry.   We use our very own Fulfilling Performance paradigm to identify what steps you need to take to enable Fulfilling Performance in your business.   We leverage our Aquilae Consulting arm for business topics and the Aquilae Academy for people topics.  And, once we're agreed on the way forward, we work alongside you and your teams to enable Fulfilling Performance and achieve your goals.  I explain Fulfilling Performance in more detail in Episode 60 of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR which is a short Side Mirror episode.    If you enjoy CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, please follow us in your podcast app.  Email: [email protected]  Episode recorded on 13 October 2022
