Kevin Lanier is a vicarious Amigo, having supported his three children when they volunteered as Amigos in Ecuador (Brennan in 2011), Nicaragua (Sophie in 2015), and Costa Rica (Elise in 2017) respectively. His son and two daughters came home with such strong confidence, independence and cultural appreciation that he vowed to support the AMIGOS organization and its mission further.

Today, Kevin leads multi-functional mergers and acquisitions teams negotiating and closing deals throughout the Americas.

The international frame of Kevin’s training and work life help him to deeply appreciate the mission of AMIGOS.
