The

spent a lifetime
fusing insights

in business,
public service

has the unique
combined
perspectives of
having led as a
senior executive
of a Fortune 100
company
(Macy’s), helped
Pillsbury

and spread it
around the
globe, served
three terms in
the U.S.
Congress
(2001-7), and
then returning
to the private
sector in a
global role with
Accenture (a
leading
consulting firm)
while continuing

John King of CNN
said "Kennedy
doesn't ignore
the elephant in
the room; to the
contrary, he
looks it
straight in the
eye" and Fred
Barnes of FOX

Kennedy, “Bold
and smart.”
Mark and Debbie,
his wife of 30
years, have four
successful young
