Kevin Chenault
Kevin is a proud New Yorker and was raised in between New Rochelle, NY and New York City. He attended both Harvard College, and Harvard Business School. In between college and graduate school, Kevin spent time working at Nickelodeon and DraftKings. While at Nickelodeon he focused on developing campaigns and partnering with data scientists to create and execute strategies to drive younger audiences back to Nickelodeon’s linear and digitally owned platforms. He was tasked with developing creative solutions that resonate with Gen Z audiences. Kevin prides himself on being able to develop diverse approaches that drive value from consumers.
Eager to get more exposure to technology and innovation, Kevin took a position at one of the leading sports, entertainment, and technology companies, DraftKings. Kevin worked across sales, product, and engineering teams to develop new game variations and enhancements to the traditional offerings that attracted new audiences and partners into the DraftKings ecosystem. While at DraftKings, he led negotiations with the world’s largest sports data providers resulting in multi-year licensing deals critical to powering DraftKings.
While at Harvard Business School, Kevin got entrenched in the entrepreneurial community on campus. He was Co-President of the Black Investment Club, as well as on the committee that established the HBS Black Venture Competition. As an HBS Summer Fellow, he pursued his own entrepreneurial pursuits and co-founded a non-profit called Anti-Racism Fund. The Anti-Racism Fund provides capital and programming to marginalized communities across the US. Kevin believes that commitments to services strengthens leadership.
Nothing gets him more excited than collaborating with and supporting entrepreneurs to help create outcomes of true consequence.
