About Kenneth R. Murray
A self-starter, with a proven track record of success in the areas of new business development, business operations, marketing, and project management. I look at each new challenge as an opportunity upon which to grow. I enjoy working in collaborative environments and seek to surround myself with colleagues who challenge me –– and whom I can challenge in turn –– so that together, we can create something greater than before.I\'m most drawn to the design and implementation of ideas and strategies that allow businesses and organizations to capitalize on the creation of experiences which tie people to their brand. A focus on people, place, and purpose can result in profitable and sustainable communities that embrace change and drive innovation.I also have a thing for wine. I am interested in making new connections, and enjoy hearing from classmates, colleagues, clients, and friends. You can reach me directly via cell phone at 65••••••56 or via email at k••••••••@rocky.edu.
