Matt Kenny

"We could have spent years trying to manufacture a fraction of the expertise that Kristen brought to the table and partnership. We had a vision for the impact we wanted to make in the lives of system-impacted individuals and families but needed Kristen's talents, experience, grit and touch in order to get there. She is a giant in the space and we are indebted for her contributions to the Celtics organization and Boston community!"

"The best part of working with Kristen as the Producer of COMMON’s Imagine Justice Community show in Sacramento CA, was her ability to anticipate what needed to be done and handle it, before I even knew it! We made history with the rally and free concert for 30,000 people in front of the State Capitol to support criminal justice reform. And we could NOT have done it without Kristen’s expertise and leadership."
