The American College of Bankruptcy is an honorary association of bankruptcy and insolvency experts. Criteria for selection as a fellow includes a rigorous standard of excellence, integrity and leadership in the bankruptcy and insolvency practice, community service and a dedication to enhancing knowledge and understanding of the field.

His demonstrated perseverance and integrity, and personal commitment to culture are foundational to what Ankura is and aspires to be. This honor is wonderful public recognition of Kevin’s professional accomplishments and a reflection of his character.”
