In the Navy Keith won multiple awards for his acumen in maritime patrol operations, photographic intelegence gathering, the Navy Achievement Medal and was ranked among the top ten percent of Navy instructors globally. It was during the time he was an aircrew instructor that he paired his creative skills with his teaching and communications strengths to improve upon the Navy's training materials, signaling his next career. >> more
After retiring from the Navy, Keith employed his skills in communications and presentations joining the newly formed technology investment banking group of Deutsche Bank in Palo Alto, Ca. There he helped build the marketing effort during the rapid growth of the group, from a dozen to nearly six-hundred staff. Keith then joined Credit Suisse, heading the creative effort for the equities research department. While at Credit Suisse Keith oversaw the creative efforts during a time when the business model was moving from print publishing to electronic publishing and adapted the marketing effort in that direction.
At the end of the technology boom, Keith moved to Florida and joined a very-busy, high-end realestate firm. During his tenure at the realestate firm he was recruited to join his most recent post, a newly formed investment bank. As the new group experienced rapid growth, Keith expanded the marketing and communications efforts building identity and brand recognition from the ground up. The new group quickly gained recognition, moving away from a reputation as "the best kept secret on Wall Street" to an internationally recognized player.
Keith lives in Miami with Steven, dog Kylie and cats Marburg and Roscoe. In his free time he enjoys working on the house, tinkering with British vintage cars, boating, cooking and entertaining.
