Over the next 25 years Keith built M&A teams focused on Software, IT Services, Food & Beverage and most recently Retail, Renewable Energy, Insurance and Professional Services.
While Keith has worked on nearly 100 completed transactions across a variety of industry sectors, the majority of his experience and real passion is with knowledge based companies.
