Speaker testimonials

Ken has an incredible ability to break down the complicated into the simple for clients and hence, he is seen as a very credible partner as well as a good listener. We’ve worked together on sales presentations and we always came away having made a very positive impression on the client. Ken has also helped me save accounts when other development groups dropped the ball so, his ability to patch things up and fix problems others created has been evident to me and it is a skill I hold in high regard. He has empathy for clients and knows what these projects mean to them and when he is surrounded with a good team he excels. I have found Ken to be flexible, deadline-oriented, and a lot of fun to work with. He’s one of the good guys with a lot of integrity and earnestness in his work.

– Scott Kingsley, Senior Director – Global Technical Education, Veritas Technologies LLC

I’ve worked with Ken on complex projects with some of the largest corporations in the world. Ken’s abilities to analyze, manage and deliver results separates him from the pack. Great Colleague.

– Tom Bronikowski, Senior Enterprise Account Executive at STRIVR

Ken has been a key resource in a yearlong project aiming to establish the usefulness of immersive exposure in virtual reality in order to adapt life review therapy methods to Alzheimer’s patients. His expertise in interactive 3D and his long experience in multimedia were only matched by the genuine curiosity and persistent enthusiasm he manifested throughout the whole project. Ken was, from the start, and until the end, a most valuable and essential asset to our team with regard to the implementation of a 3D world that suited the purpose of our research. It is therefore without reserve of any kind that I endorse his talent, flexibility, and capabilities as a multimedia expert who can efficiently adapt to a variety of project goals and work conditions.

– Denis Belisle, Professor at University of Sherbrooke
