R.,

For your review, I've attached and pasted below the resume of Kevin Lynn.  He is a seasoned private equity executive with a 20+ year track record of developing and launching investment funds, raising capital from scratch and managing many of the internal and external functions of a private equity firm, including participation on the firm's investment committee.  He is seeking a senior leadership position with a Private Equity firm where he can leverage his core skills in investor relations, deal origination, capital formation, fund administration and leadership. As a Partner with Park Associates since 2001, Kevin led the inception and ongoing administration of two discrete funds with over $400 million in aggregate commitments.  The founding principal at PA is inching toward retiring and he is mid-career looking for the next challenge.  Additionally, with regards to relocation, Kevin's travels and investment in the Northeast over the years have built a strong personal and professional connection to the region, and a relocation to the area would be welcome.

Academically, Kevin earned a BBA in Finance and Real Estate from Southern Methodist University and an MBA from UCLA - Anderson Graduate School of Management.

If you find his skills and experience are a match for any of your firm's needs; please call or email me or contact Kevin Lynn directly at your convenience.  Please note there is no fee for this presentation as he is a member of our Friends of the Firm Program.

Thank you,
