Kevin C Halvorson
Hello Hiring Managers
I am a multi-talented executive with a decade of Fortune 50 sales & marketing experience, and 8- years CEO management experience, and have 20 years of technical application database and systems integration and change management experience. I have been an entrepreneur in several industries, most recently healthcare mobile telemedicine consultation and scheduling applications. I graduated from the University of Oregon’s Exec MBA program in Portland in June 2019.
I have had two distinct career focuses. Initially, I carried a briefcase and had management positions in sales and marketing with Xerox and IBM, and HP. I then pivoted into a technical career with my own consulting firms working with IBM\Bell labs databases, Microsoft, Apple, and network, VoIP vendors, I started an IoT Smart home business after Y2K. Several of my senior-level positions were in a blended sales, marketing, and technical support in high-tech embedded processor and communication boards for the military, communications, and embedded computing markets. I was hired to implement changes in data systems, culture, hiring, and training. In 2014, I stepped down as CEO of a promising Medical Software Startup to fight serious cancer which I am now free of. My return to the workforce, in the middle of a bad recession in Alaska, gave me two unique experiences. One in the Broadcast, Cable, and Digital Advertising area focusing on health care and emerging businesses. In effect I, created an agency within a media major network broadcast company. The other was with a former employer, Xerox, whose agency hired me to manage their largest accounts, the State of Alaska, Federal Government, and Education markets. This job was arranged so I could travel to Portland every other weekend for 20 months to get my Executive MBA from the University of Oregon. I graduated in 2019 as a Duck! I was introduced to a CBS, NBC affiliate, and Cable Company after an extended medical leave and with no industry experience was the number one account executive in the group of very tenured salespeople for new business. I opened new markets in medical and emerging companies in Alaska. I wrote and produced 20 commercials, as I was in direct sales and not assigned to existing agencies. GCI was sold and I transitioned to Xerox where I handle Xerox’s largest account, the State of Alaska, and 3rd party software vendors. Other markets handled were federal municipal, education, and medical markets.
On the technical side, I have hands-on hardware, networking, and software development experiences in my consulting business and created complex application workflow and CRM databases for over 100 companies. I also had CIO responsibilities in 2 of the 58 California courts, CTO system integrator responsibilities in my IoT Smart house company & CEO responsibility in two shareholder companies I co-founded. I moved to the Portland area upon graduation to find a new position in the Northwest. My final city of residence will depend on where my new position is located and its requirements. Review my LinkedIn profile for more details. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kchalvorson/ I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you in more detail. Sincerely
Kevin C. Halvorson
