"I have had the privilege of working closely with Kevin on a variety of projects across the Huntsman Cancer Institute research and clinical missions for many years, and he is a wealth of knowledge in addition to being an extraordinary financial leader and person of complete integrity," said Mary Beckerle, PhD, HCI CEO.
