Prior to joining the Lab, Kevin served as the Senior Vice President for JobsFirstNYC, an intermediary positioned between private philanthropy, public policy, and practice on the ground working to expand economic mobility to opportunity youth. There, Kevin worked with the president and CEO to conduct the organization’s strategic inquiry and rebranding process.

As part of JobsFirstNYC’s K-12 education strategy, Kevin was also charged with launching the Transfer 2 Career Collaborative, an innovative pilot aiming to build partnerships between 12 transfer high schools and a set of workforce development training providers and community colleges to improve career readiness and increase postsecondary and employment outcomes.

Kevin served as the founding northeast director for Young Invincibles, where he launched their New York office and ran a successful campaign to establish the Empire State Apprenticeship Program, an effort sparked by a report he authored on New York’s statewide youth employment crisis.
