Keith has extensive experience with full cost-recovery at the IBC, as well as leading organizations through transformative change with a focus on driving business results and organizational success. His prior executive experience with the IBC gives him a strong understanding of the role and challenges of leading in a Shared Services environment, and the importance of the work we do for Interior and our other federal customers. He has demonstrated success in leading and developing people, problem solving, and leveraging technology in support of organizational missions.
