Kevin is a global strategist and practitioner with over 20 years of experience operating in complex environments to advance peace and stability. He has worked across the private sector, civil society, academia, and government, shaping policies and implementing solutions that bridge security, development, and diplomacy. His career has spanned frontline civilian deployments alongside military units in Afghanistan, Syria, and East Africa, where he worked with USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Civil Affairs, and Psychological Operations (PSYOP) to address instability in some of the world’s most fragile regions. With a focus on making U.S. foreign policy more effective, aligned, and impactful, he has driven reforms at the highest levels, successfully authoring and securing Cabinet and Presidential approval for the Stabilization Assistance Review (SAR) and the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability.

Kevin has operated at the policy level to integrate national security, peacebuilding, and development approaches, leveraging his broad network across military, diplomatic, and international development communities. He has led and implemented large-scale budgets while ensuring tailored, locally driven solutions that account for political, economic, and security complexities. His ability to navigate both high-level policymaking and on-the-ground execution has made him a trusted advisor to senior government officials, four-star military leadership, institutional investors, and civil society leaders. A Rotary World Peace Fellow and Truman National Security Project Fellow, Kevin holds degrees from James Madison University and Queensland University, Australia. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, son, and daughter.

Rick Morgan is a social science professional specializing in mixed-methods conflict analysis and advanced data analytics and visualization. Shaped by his experience in the U.S. Army, he brings a mission-focused approach to every project. His work has taken him to conflict and post-conflict areas around the globe—Afghanistan, Kosovo, India, Iraq, Liberia, and Niger—where he has assessed the social dynamics of post-conflict reconciliation, the impact of development projects on local support preferences, and the relationships between local institutions, service delivery and social cohesion.

At USAID, he integrated conflict insights into the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) to support timely, data-driven humanitarian responses. He also served as a Senior Data Scientist at the Center for Conflict and Violence Prevention, developing decision-support dashboards and reporting tools that guided development initiatives in conflict-affected areas. Previously, he helped develop forecasting models as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Varieties of Democracy Institute at the University of Gothenburg.

Rick holds a Ph.D. in political science from Emory University, specializing in conflict analysis and both quantitative and qualitative research methods. His scholarship appears in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Global Security Studies, and Democratization. He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and dog and continues to enjoy exploring innovative ways that data science and social science can converge to improve outcomes in complex environments
