Product Development Entrepreneur & Consultant
I don't know how he does it, but Keith can get you the satellite photo, the street view, and everything in between. He helped us better understand our brand and form an overarching strategy, and then helped us tackle a product function question through the lens of a consumer.
It is indeed rare to find someone that can create and stick to a comprehensive product development schedule AND be a valuable creative contributor to product design. We benefited greatly from using Keith's strength in both of those areas.
Founder / Global Supply Chain Consultant
I had the pleasure of working closely with Keith as an Innovation Consultant, and I highly recommend him. He consistently demonstrated exceptional creativity and strategic insight in the consumer goods sector, driving impressive results. His innovative approach and ability to turn ideas into actionable strategies was a great asset for the products we developed together. In short, I would love to work with him again.
