Kevin Jerome James Hawkins Jr

Kevin Hawkins is a product executive in tech, a world traveler, and founder of supper club The Common Thread. It is a Barcelona-based supper club and community for curious locals, expats, and travelers who crave connection over great food and wine.

After moving to Barcelona following a breakup in Amsterdam, Kevin started hosting dinners as a way to rebuild his sense of home and community. What began as intimate gatherings around his own dinner table has since evolved into a vibrant social circle—one that now includes pop-up events, wine tastings, and even birthday parties with strangers who feel like chosen family. With a passion for storytelling, thoughtful design, and meaningful hospitality, Kevin created The Common Thread Club to offer others the kind of belonging he once needed most.
