About Kian Kamas
I\'ve spent my career at the intersection of policies that support the growth of cities and their residents, and practices that leverage the impact and role of the private sector. A firm believer in the opportunity that lies in public-private partnerships, I love looking for creative pathways to tackle complex problems that oftentimes seem intractable. I am passionate about building engaged teams through a focus on creating an environment of trust and honesty; embracing the unique skills and contributions of individuals; and demanding candid, open, respectful - and nearly always humorous - dialogue.
