(Recorded September 2023). Kevin Roland is a Managing Director in New York-based global CEO advisory firm Teneo. He was a member of the Foreign Service of the U.S. State Department, serving in front-line diplomatic roles in Northern Ireland (from 2009-2012), as well as Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa, Jordan, and the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs in Washington, D.C.

Despite working around the world, Kevin and his family reside at their home in New Quay, County Clare, Ireland.

In today’s episode we talk about:

Why his family decided to call Ireland home
Watching his dad loading planes as a kid
Colin Powell racing around in a supercar with the King of Jordan
Being mentored by the current head of the CIA
Playing basketball in the Middle East
Becoming fluent in arabic
How he got into the private sector (and why it matters)
And his advice to 18-year-olds…. “don’t hug the shore!”
