Led by Kevin Maguire, a strategic consultant with 20 years of experience working with Nike, Warner Bros. Discovery, Palo Alto Networks, Deepmind and more. He worked inside Google during the creation of the Transformer paper, which led the way for the current LLM revolution, and was instrumental in launching Google AI, their first attempt to communicate their artificial intelligence story to consumers.

Quickhatch's process and facilitation accelerated our work from months to days, enabling us to condense a process of alignment & action, and without their work, it would not have been possible. It was truly valuable and has had resoundingly positive feedback from all participants

STRATEGIC CONSULTING

Kevin works as a trusted strategic partner for startups, partnering with technical co-founders to translate products of the future into compelling present-day narratives with human-centred thinking. He works anywhere from pre-seed (whilst companies are evolving their narrative hand-in-hand with their product to accelerate the race to product-market fit) to pre-IPO.

I was aware of Kevin’s depth of talent having worked with him during his time at Google Creative Lab. We were confronted with the challenge of bringing disparate pieces of a complicated business model into a cohesive story. While Kevin and the team played an integral role in shaping the company’s brand narrative, their work far exceeded this. Analytical, strategic, and creative, Kevin’s input on the company not only helped form the basis for our fundraising strategy but for our strategic vision as a whole. We simply wouldn’t have been able to do it without him.
