Presenters

Our Staffing World 2024 presenters represent a broad range of perspectives and expertise.

Kennedy brings more than a decade of specialized mergers and acquisitions and consulting expertise to the staffing industry, guiding owners through their strategic exit journeys. This work is underpinned by his solid foundation of over 30 years in the trenches of the staffing industry—where he’s seen and experienced the industry’s rapid evolution firsthand. Kennedy has navigated through two business exits personally, which led companies to substantial growth and success. He offers a perspective that’s rare among typical investment bankers or general business brokers: He doesn’t just understand staffing companies—he’s lived their challenges and triumphs. As a passionate advocate for the staffing industry, Kennedy was a founding member of National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses in Canada and served as a provincial and national board member for the Association of Canadian Search, Employment, and Staffing Services with R.A. Cohen’s late founder Bob Cohen for many years.
