Simon Kyne serves as the Director of the Entrepreneurship Program, which integrates rigorous business education with Catholic teaching, equipping future leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to launch and lead ventures that achieve success in the marketplace, while contributing to human flourishing, living the Gospel, and impacting our culture for Christ.

Kyne brings more than 27 years of executive experience in fast-growing entrepreneurial companies, most recently serving as Vice President of Innovation and Quality at Milton’s, a nationally recognized better-for-you food brand based in Carlsbad, California. During his career at Milton’s, Kyne led executive-level Marketing and Innovation functions, with expertise spanning consumer insight and market analyses, new product development and commercialization, brand strategy, and strategic problem solving. Kyne’s work contributed to the company’s turnaround, helping transform a declining bread business into a category-leading, on trend, consumer food company, delivering delicious, better-for-you products to millions of customers. Prior to Milton’s, Kyne held marketing and business roles at Brookside Foods, where he helped penetrate new markets, acquire new customers, and spearhead revenue-expanding initiatives.

Given Milton’s compelling business turnaround story, Kyne has co-lectured with other executives on multiple occasions at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.

In addition to his corporate leadership, Kyne is deeply engaged in Catholic leadership formation and evangelization. He served as a board member for Life Restoration Ministries and for Friends of Catholic Christian Outreach, and he cofounded the Society of Catholic Leaders (Credo), an apostolate dedicated to enabling evangelization and Catholic witness among business peers and within the workplace. He has also provided leadership training for the missionaries of Catholic Christian Outreach through their School of Incarnational Leadership.

Kyne earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History (Honors) from the University of British Columbia, and an MBA from Western Washington University. Simon and his wife, Mary, a 1999 graduate of Franciscan University, recently relocated to Steubenville from (North County) San Diego, California.
