Kevin Barber
Chairman
Kevin Barber launched his first BNI chapter in 2005 in Heidelberg, Germany. He is currently responsible for the Region Germany South-West with 39 Chapters, more than 1200 members and a support team of 4 Area Directors and 40 Director Consultants. His chapters have generated a cumulative total of more than 400 Million USD in closed business. After 24 years working as a CPA in audit, industry and the services sector he claims to have had “no idea” what networking was when he started his BNI career.
Kevin has since attended BNI meetings in 27 countries in order to establish a strong international network for his BNI customers. In 2011, he initiated the project “BNI Connect-5”, which will take place for the 6th time in 2017. He has presented at the last four International Directors Conferences on the subject of “Connecting the World” and is regularly invited to speak internationally about “Changing the Way the World Does Business”. He is also responsible for the BNI Foundation in D-A-CH and in early 2016 was named Global Special Envoy to the BNI Foundation by BNI CEO Graham Weihmiller.
For Kevin, Changing the Way the World Does Business means showing the world in everything that we do that “together and for each other” brings much better results than “against each other”
