Kenneth Hahn is from the US and currently resides outside of Boston, MA. He has over 40 years of experience across almost every continent on the globe, in roles as diverse as the countries in which he has worked. Kenneth has successfully built and sold his own venture.

Kenneth holds an MBA from Yale University and a BA in Sociology and Economics from Harvard University. In his early career, Kenneth studied and consulted with worker-owned companies, focusing on the use of ESOPs to foster greater employee participation in managerial decision-making.In 1990, Kenneth started his own adventure travel company, which over the next 22 years sent thousands of travellers to Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean Basin. In 2012, Kenneth sold the business to begin a consultancy practice, working with industry leaders in areas of strategic planning, hiring practices, marketing and branding, and talent acquisition.

Not wanting to do the same thing for 25 years (and just shy of this mark), Kenneth decided to chart a new course. In 2016, he was ordained as a rabbi and now works as a chaplain in a major trauma center in Massachusetts, supporting patients and their families as they face life-threatening medical challenges.

As a coach and facilitator for ALI, Kenneth has worked with executives in numerous industries, including light industrial, automotive, pharmaceuticals, apparel, shipping, large retail, non-profit and many tech and fintech startups, primarily in India. He has worked with leaders at companies like AbbVie, Nike and LVMH.

Kenneth has found that being with a hospital patient or a business client is not all that different; in both instances, what is called for is presence, compassion, an inquisitive mind, and a recognition that the patient or client already knows exactly what they need to know. Kenneth creates an environment where the inner wisdom of the client is both given permission and encouraged to emerge.

He is a husband of over 35 years and the father of two adult children and a grandfather of three. Kenneth is an avid cyclist who can often be found miles from home on a two-lane country road.
