Kevin Frey
CEO, Generation Unlimited
Kevin leads Generation Unlimited at UNICEF in the United Nations as CEO, spearheading global initiatives to deliver skilling, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people around the world. As a CEO, entrepreneur, and innovator, Kevin has built and led organizations that bridge the gaps between technology, education, employment and international development in over 90 countries.
Prior to his current role, Kevin served as CEO of Right To Play, an international development organization that protects, educates, and empowers children across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. His leadership experience also includes serving as Managing Director of Canada's top-ranked MBA program at the University of Toronto, where he helped to shape the next generation of Canada’s business leaders.
Kevin's entrepreneurial journey began at age 27 when he founded TeachAway, driven by the conviction that every child and young person deserves to benefit from the power of a great teacher. TeachAway grew to become the world’s leading international teacher recruitment platform and evolved into the Kesson Group, which continued to innovate creating Skooli, an online tutoring platform, and Klassroom, an online US-accredited K-12 teacher licensure program. The company's global growth and innovative ed-tech and job-tech solutions attracted the attention of Pluribus Technologies, which acquired the Kesson Group.
Kevin holds a Doctorate in Business Administration from IE Business School at IE University, where his research focused on entrepreneurship, an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, and an Honors Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction from the University of Toronto in Philosophy and History.
