Kevin Hunter is a Puget Sound native, growing up on Seattle’s eastside, but always considered himself a “Seattle kid”. While attending Western WA for his undergraduate business degree, a summer internship to Jackson Mississippi changed his professional trajectory. Upon graduation, Kevin began what became a 40-year career in the non-profit youth development and community development sector.
In 1990 Kevin, his wife and three kids moved from Olympia to Tacoma where they were smitten by the deep connective relationships that they have found across the city. He now counts himself a “Tacoma guy”.
Kevin has a deep commitment to kids and families that find themselves on the margins. He has been a senior leader in organizations such as World Vision, Habitat for Humanity, Olive Crest and Construction for Change and has seen firsthand, both across the United States and globally what organizations of goodwill are able to accomplish when they come together around long term transformative outcomes. Kevin now leads his consulting firm and is currently engaged with clients such as the Leadership Foundations and Civic Commons (Black Home Initiative).
As a leader, Kevin has consistently been a voice for people on the fringe and has brought people and organizations together through strategic alliances and trusting relationships. Kevin has expanded and grown impact wherever he has served and has a wealth of experience and a deep passion for innovation, connecting people and organizations and ultimately collaborating toward sustainable and transformative trajectories for our world.
