If you know Ken, you know why we’re thrilled. If you don’t, here’s the short version:
Ken has seen and done everything.
Over the course of his career he’s been a CFO, COO, CEO, advisor, board member, investor, operator, Big Four CPA, investment banker… and at this point has raised more than $1B in capital and completed 86 mergers and acquisitions. He’s helped build, scale, and guide companies across every stage - from scrappy Boston-area startups to multi-billion-dollar divisions of Fortune 100 firms.
But here’s what matters most to us:
Ken deeply understands how to build a business that lasts.
Greatpoint HR’s co-founders have actually had the pleasure of working with Ken years ago and even then, his combination of financial discipline, speed of thought, and calm operating perspective made a huge impact. He has an almost uncanny ability to cut through noise, ask the one question that actually matters, and guide teams toward decisions that set them up for long-term success.
And now he’s bringing that same clarity and experience to Greatpoint HR.
What Ken Enables Us to Do Next
While Michael Pilnick (our first advisory member) brings deep expertise in HR, human capital strategy, and compensation leadership, Ken brings a complementary perspective - one rooted in scale, operations, capital strategy, and building durable enterprise value.
Together, they give us a 360° lens on the challenges our clients face and the challenges our own company will face as we grow.
Here’s how Ken’s guidance will help us level up:
Build the operational muscle we need as we scale
Ken has led companies through hyper-growth, turnarounds, acquisitions, capital raises - he knows exactly what’s required behind the scenes to grow quickly without growing sloppy.
Make sharper financial and strategic decisions
As we expand our platform and consider new capabilities, Ken’s financial rigor will help us stay focused, intentional, and aligned with long-term value creation.
Navigate the next chapter of Greatpoint HR with confidence
Every company eventually hits inflection points - and having someone who has already navigated dozens of them is priceless.
Strengthen our foundation as we build a category-defining comp platform
Ken’s cross-functional experience ensures we’re thinking not only about what we’re building today but what is required tomorrow.
Why This Matters for Our Clients
As compensation gets more complex - multi-sourced data, transparency laws, pay equity pressures, AI moving faster than ever - companies need partners they can trust.
Bringing Ken onto our advisory board helps ensure we build Greatpoint HR the right way: with discipline, ambition, and a truly strategic lens.
It’s another step toward creating a modern, intelligent, and durable platform that compensation teams can rely on.
With both Ken and Michael Pilnick now advising Greatpoint, we feel incredibly energized about what this next chapter will bring.
