The IT Professional
Marine Operations, Sales and Service Manager, Project Manager, Web Designer, Technical Support
August 1, 2022 -- After almost 10 years in Austin, TX, Keith is continuing his project and team management skills in the Marine industry where his passion truly lies. He will be combining his corporate skill-set and matching knowledge in the initiation of a sailing organization focused on one-design sailboat racing on Lake Chatuge in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Having grown up in a household where my mother was deeply involved with the San Francisco Opera and my father worked as a banker, I have always appreciated the pragmatism of businesses and the creativity of the arts. Since then, I’ve built my operational management experiences and technical knowledge while fostering my creativity to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to business problems.
I hope to leverage my people management and creative problem-solving skills to the Hayesville Yacht Club.
While I have extensive project management experience, my differentiator is managing relationships and the multipul ideas that are created in a team enviorment. I have the ability to personally connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds and often managed stakeholders and direct reports from different countries, languages, and organizational cultures within a single project.
