posed by a diverse client base is central to Kinect ’ s strategy going forward . Franco recalls : “ I recently spent some time in our Australian office and then in Japan , and I think the difficulty is that the solution sets aren ’ t the same in different geographies . Lots of companies here in the US made the commitment of 100 % renewable energy … that ’ s been going on here for years . I go to Australia and one project has been done in Australia so far , maybe two . So it ’ s a very emerging market . And you go to Japan and it ’ s not even on their radar there .”
“ So that ’ s kind of a difficulty ,’’ he admits . “ But that ’ s why our clients bring us in . There are differences across geographies in terms of the solutions available . We need to help them figure that out and what makes the most sense .” Wherever Kinect operates in the world , and whoever they serve , “ we sit on the same side of the table with the customer to create competition and improve transparency ,’’ says Franco . “ As a company , we continue to expand and grow , both organically , and through acquisition . Our goal is to better serve our clients globally . We ’ ll continue to expand in Asia and other parts of the world where we ’ re not as strongly represented right now . The ability to provide that kind of seamless solution across the globe for our clients – that ’ s how we ’ re pushing now .”
