STRATEGIC PARTNERS

“I have known Ken Miller since our days together on the CNO’s staff in what was N88 at the time, now N98.  While the staff was strong in operational experience, Ken was brought to the staff to teach, mentor and lead in areas where we were not strong, mainly budgeting, procurement and acquisition expertise.  I gained a wealth of knowledge from Ken as a young Commander that served we well as the F/A-18 Hornet Requirements Officer.  What I did not appreciate at the time was how well his insights and wisdom would serve me in the years ahead as a Flag Officer, eventually leading the US Pacific Fleet made up of 140,000 Sailors, over 200 ships and 1200 aircraft.  Ken’s insight and wisdom has continued to grow over the last twenty years and I am honored to be associated with him and his KEM team once again.”

Admiral Scott Swift, USN (ret.)

KEM and Associates has provided a strong support to me and the Italian Companies I was representing in the challenging activity of establishing a strong base in the U.S. and submitting winning proposals to the DoD.
