About


Hi, I’m Keith — a recovering technologist who became obsessed with building high-performing people organizations.


I started my career as the first developer at a startup, which gave me an early understanding of systems, scalability, process design, and how technology can transform a business. But over the last 24 years, through hyper-growth, organizational transformation, and major acquisitions, I discovered something even more challenging and rewarding: building teams.


That combination of technical depth and people-first leadership has become increasingly rare — and increasingly necessary — in modern Customer Success and Customer Experience organizations.


Today, companies are navigating a massive shift. AI is reshaping how customer teams operate, how value is delivered, and how organizations scale. Many organizations are focused on the tools themselves. I’m more interested in helping companies rethink the operating model behind them: the people, processes, metrics, leadership structures, and customer journeys that determine whether transformation actually succeeds.


I believe the future belongs to organizations that can combine:



My leadership philosophy is rooted in servant leadership, authenticity, and trust. I believe resilient teams are built by investing deeply in people, creating clarity during uncertainty, and developing leaders who can thrive through change instead of resisting it.


I’m passionate about helping organizations:



At this stage of my career, I’m less interested in climbing ladders and more interested in contributing to organizations doing meaningful work and navigating meaningful change. I’m passionate about maximizing impact — transforming teams, developing leaders, and building customer organizations that are resilient, adaptable, and prepared for what’s next.


If your organization is navigating growth, transformation, AI disruption, or scaling challenges, let’s connect.
