Our Team
Between them, the four partners bring more than a century of public-market, regulatory, transactional, and brand experience: a dozen-plus companies founded, regulated financial entities established and licensed in two countries, board seats on public companies in Canada and the United States, and brands built for some of North America's most recognized names.
I · Kevin Wright
Kevin Wright — Founding Partner, Managing Director
Kevin Wright is an entrepreneur, operator, and brand strategist with more than 30 years across private and public companies. He has founded or co-founded more than a dozen businesses, and served as a director and active investor in many more — including board roles with publicly traded companies in Canada and the United States, and work on public companies across the Canadian, U.S., and German markets.
Earlier in his career, Kevin was an award-winning director at multinational marketing and advertising firms, shaping strategy for clients like IBM, CIBC, Molson, Rogers, Vonage, and Akzo Nobel. Founder, investor, board member, marketer to household names — that range is exactly what he brings to Prescienti: the ability to connect what a business is with how a market comes to see it.
Kevin is a graduate of Queen's University, a member of Professional Engineers Ontario, and a former Canadian Navy diver.
