Between 1968 and 1996, Ken was the CEO or head of sales and marketing for 6 technology-based start ups: 5 either went public or were successfully merged; 1 was a complete disaster.
Since 1996, Ken has been giving back to the next generation of entrepreneurs, helping them build great companies and become successful globally. A particular focus is assisting men and women entrepreneurs in the Middle East and Europe.
Ken and colleagues from MIT provide coaching and training courses specifically geared to entrepreneurs who have already decided to take the plunge, build a team, and pursue a great opportunity.
