We enlisted Kieren’s services to establish our brand and manage our international business four years ago. In a highly competitive landscape, establishing a new brand is no easy feat, but Kieren delivered! The transformation from when we first entered the international market to now is remarkable, thanks to Kieren’s knack for making things happen, his extensive network, and his ability to forge and manage lasting partnerships. Our brand is thriving, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommended!
