2026 Keynote
My Journey to a Publicly Traded CEO;
Lessons in Strategy and Leadership
Kevin recently passed the torch as CEO of Calian after a 10-year tenure. As CEO, Kevin worked with the Calian team to transform Calian from a services company to a mission critical solutions company. In that journey, Kevin led the acquisition of 20 companies while taking the company global and instilling a growth culture. The company more than quadrupled in revenues while delivering shareholder value through dividends and increased share price.
Join us as Kevin shares insights from his journey and learn how to apply these lessons to your own.
​

You’ll hear where to start with real PM and PMM use cases, how to overcome “blank page” anxiety, and how to weave AI into everyday product work while managing risk, culture change, and team development.
