Kevin A. Barnes I am an Accenture alum with solid skills and experience in both marketing and technology, resulting in a uniquely qualified leader for both digital and traditional communication initiatives. During my 15 years with Accenture, I managed a number of high-profile projects, ranging from creation of the firm’s first annual report digital companion to development of the internal knowledge-sharing microsite which eventually became marketing.accenture.com. As part of those (and other) projects, I regularly collaborated with senior stakeholders, as well as managed external vendors. After leaving Accenture, I spent five years managing digital marketing projects at an award-winning, full-service marketing agency.
