CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) & BOARD MEMBER

Darryl Kenna

As CEO and Director of Epiphany Group, Darryl has watched firsthand the transformation of this company, since inception, into a leading private Asset Management company that focuses on Real Estate and vertically aligned businesses.  With nearly 30 years of experience in the business world as a founder, owner, and manager with a multitude of different companies he brings his vast insight to those mentors within his daily life.  An EQ driven team approach is the style he leads and guides companies with which helps set these companies apart from their competition over time.  Never afraid of a challenge he undertook writing and publishing his first business book, in late 2022 Vision Meets Execution to showcase the relationship between a CEO and COO.  When he is not working or traveling, he calls Waterton home spending time hiking, biking, and fishing.
