Kevin Crean is Vice President of OneRoof, a “social franchise that provides essential goods and services in rural communities of the developing world.

Our aim: to demonstrate that entrepreneurs who are highly ethical, locally savvy and globally networked can significantly alleviate poverty in their communities—and can do so in a profitable, scalable way that will enable us to expand our franchise to all corners of the developing world.”

Kevin is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and of the Texas Tech University School of Law. After practicing for two years as a commercial litigator in Houston, Texas, Kevin moved to Bangkok, Thailand, where he became an International Legal Consultant for a prominent international law firm, Siam Premier International. During 1992, Kevin practiced as an international lawyer primarily in the areas of foreign direct investment, joint ventures, international banking, leasing, lobbying, and construction. Over the past several years, Kevin has practiced law in Seattle, Washington, where he has taken significant responsibility on large, complex litigation matters, including primary responsibility for the development of Plaintiff’s technical case in Auvil et al. vs. CBS “60 Minutes” (the Alar class action litigation). Over the course of his career, Kevin has gained extensive experience working with experts in a variety of scientific and technical fields, including medicine, risk assessment, and engineering.
