About Ken Kenneth Barun
Experienced professional who has led well in high-profile positions. I aim to help build responsible brands and coach leadership teams in the for-profit or not-for-profit sectors that can make a difference worldwide.I have managed large organizations and small management teams. My judgment of character in choosing the right team and developing that team has proven excellent, as evidenced by the results of the organizations I have worked for and with over the years.The length of time of each of my careers with well-known brands and organizations reflects honesty, integrity, and loyalty. I have not met any man or woman with experience in so many areas as I have. I have run a substance abuse program in Texas to organize and advise programs for First Lady Nancy Reagan in the White House. I started Ronald McDonald House Charities from scratch in 1986 with no additional staff and, over 20 years, built it to be one of the top brands in America. You can see that evidence in over McDonald\'s restaurants worldwide. I was also responsible for animal welfare, environmental affairs, and Nutrition at McDonald\'s. Those three areas were immense public relations challenges that affected sales for the company, and my team\'s solutions changed the public\'s perception of the Corporation quickly and permanently.
