I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with you at Serena while I was there … I wish you all the best in your next venture. Cheers!

Rajiv Amar

Kevin – this is really a surprise my friend! Your talent is much needed in the industry.

Adriano Alves

It was a great privilege to have worked with you. I wish you all the best! Forte abraço!

Kevin Roberts

I will never forget about that time you went to an Insurance Company on Battery Way in NYC and told the CIO of the company that he runs his IT organization like the 1980s. And you meant this from the bottom of your heart. That was both the most beautiful and truthful thing you can say to a customer. Despite sporting an ill-advised mustache for a good number of years, you do an incredible job of connecting the dots between what a salesperson is trying to say and what an IT executive is trying to hear. … My company is desperately trying to find someone with your intellect, communication skills, and ability to “connect the dots”.

Bria Gray

It was always a pleasure to work with you! You are missed. I wish you many successes on your next adventure and know you’ll be amazing!

Felix Dowuona

Fair winds and following seas Kevin. Hope to see you again soon.

Robert Kramer

I’ll bet they didn’t know you are a Sensei in Origami. Take some time on the boat with the puppies and the Mrs. Work isn’t everything, my friend!

Best wishes for the future, more time for sailing

Jodi Stoddard-Dolson

Feeling very sad Kevin… it was great working with you and you will be missed greatly!!! Micro Focus has lost a talented asset!!! I hope our paths will cross again. Best of luck on your next adventure!!

Juan Carlos Gomez Zea

I still remember when you came to Mexico City. Your presentation about the value proposition was simply the best we’ve ever seen!

Sam Doncaster

I will miss you. You welcomed us all to so many events and you encouraged each of us to do more for our customers.

Eddy Pauwels

Unbelievable. Take care, my friend. They lose a great asset and tons of experience …

Alyssa Fox

I miss you already – while you’re a great marketing guy, more importantly, you’re a great human being, and I’m so glad we got the chance to work together.

Barry O’Brien

Kevin, you taught so many, so much … enjoy the boat and ping me if in Boston. Maybe you should make a road trip to Dennisport, MA and have some clam “chowda” at Capt. Parker’s Pub …

Tho Yeong Chien

All the best Kevin. You have been a great mentor. Regards.

Erik Daems

Good luck Kevin – talent is always needed elsewhere – anyone hiring you will be very lucky!! Stand tall

Bruce Engle

It was truly a pleasure and an honor to work with you. We will all miss you very much. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

This is Micro Focus’ loss. I was the guy who hired you at Serena and I consider you to be one of the best hires I ever made. No hyperbole.

Scott Pahl

It was an honor to work with you, Kevin. You will be missed. I hope our paths cross again in the future! Safe travels wherever they take you!

Tony Novoa

Always a scholar and gentleman Kevin. Sorry to see you go. I wish you all the best and will keep an eye out for you.

Rebecca Palao

Kevin, you are the best in the business. I have missed your ties, your stories and the talent you bring to any meeting. It has been over 4 years since working with you and I know like the others who commented here you are one of a kind!

Karen Johnson

Kevin, you were invaluable to Serena and all of us who worked with you, and will be smashing with your next team! Will be very jealous of whomever you choose to go with.

Marek Szeliga

Amazing run Kevin … congrats and good luck to you with your next project.

Katherine Wells

Does Micro Focus even know what they’ve lost? Unbelievable. I have no doubt your new adventures will be exciting and fun for you. So honored to have worked with you at Serena, and can’t wait to see where you land and how you change their world!

Sal Del Conte

Kevin, with your talents, you won’t be available very long! Best of luck.

Nick Aves

Kevin, you have always been an inspiration and will be sorely missed. Keep in touch. All the best Nick

Richard Flaherty

Wow, Kevin … best of luck in your future endeavors … always enjoyed spending time with you back in the day …

Dr. Tatiana Walsh

Wow. You are Serena. Their loss. Your leadership made a big difference in the lives of many people I still have my origami penguin. It is a treasure that reminds me of a time when building something new was FUN! I wish you the BEST!

Lauren Rich

This makes me so sad! I know we only met once but the enablement you did on Serena was so helpful and you made it fun with your quick wit. You will be missed! I wish you much success in the future. Take care! (edited)

Miguel Tam

Best of luck Kevin! I enjoyed working with you and have fond memories!

Emily Flinders

Kevin, it was so great to work with you even though it was only a short time. All the best for you moving forward!

Craig Carver

Kevin! When one door closes, another opens, and I can’t wait to see what your next adventure includes! I enjoyed working with you at Serena and still remember our conversations when you came to visit while I was living in Minneapolis!! Best to you and I know you’re going to continue to do great things!!

Ron LaPedis 雷朗

I didn’t know you all that long, but you are a brilliant and a gentleman. The two do not go hand in hand all that often. I hope you land well!

Frederic Richer

Thanks Kevin for everything, a lot of very good memories. I hope our paths will cross again.

Clas Jacobsson

Sad to read that you are now leaving your “mission”. Good luck with new initiatives.

Ian Meharg

Kevin – it’s a real shame to learn that your skills, experience, and ability are no longer required by Micro Focus. For a company based on Cobol to lose someone with your understanding of mainframe is bizarre, to say the least. But their loss will be your gain for sure. You always added huge value to my customers in Serena and your time was fiercely competed for when you came to the UK. It was always a pleasure, a huge amount of fun and massively educational just to be in your presence. I am still citing one of your presentations (and conclusions) today that you made over 10 years back – it has absolutely come to pass (your prediction) that all that matters is what is happening “at the glass”. I know it won’t be long before your next post (both in work and on Linked In!) I wish you all the very best and offer my huge gratitude for all your help and support.

Christoph Stahl

Thank you, Kevin, for many years of inspiring, motivation and learning from you. I wish you all the best for your future and hope we stay in contact.

Years ago, Serena acquired TeamShare. I was a 20-something HR Director going through my first acquisition. Pretty scary, especially on the being acquired side. You made me a flower,and you’ll never understand how much that meant to me. Send me your resume and I will keep my eye open for you. I don’t run in that space anymore but you never know who you might meet. And thanks!
