About Jordan Keables

I’ve always been obsessed with the \"why.\"Whether I was leading strategic analytics at Bank of America or driving project management at Merrick Bank, I’ve found that the best growth strategies don\'t come from just staring at spreadsheets—they come from understanding the human behavior behind the data. I love the challenge of taking a complex market research finding and translating it into a process that actually works better for the end user and the bottom line.Right now, I’m sharpening that lens as an Executive MBA candidate (and Class President) at BYU. My career has been built at the intersection of merchant acquiring, payments, and operational efficiency, but what really drives me is the opportunity to build better systems and lead teams that care about the impact of their work.When I’m not diving into consumer insights or coursework, you’ll usually find me outdoors—likely hiking, rucking, or planning the next camping trip. I’m a firm believer that the best leadership lessons often happen outside the office.If you’re looking for someone who can bridge the gap between high-level strategy and boots-on-the-ground execution, let’s talk.
