Professional

TEC Chair Kevin Brown believes in transformations, both personally and professionally. His 30+ years of executive experience in Information Technology across a variety of business sectors is a testament to his ability to embrace change.

Kevin is known as both a builder and transformer of management teams. His career began in online banking and then moved into the utilities arena, where he was Director, Vice President and CIO in both Edmonton and Calgary. His willingness to say ‘yes’ to new challenges has defined his career.
