About Keith Smith
Currently working as a Sales Engineer at Keyence, where I specialize in selling and troubleshooting advanced automation solutions for both the front-end and back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process, as well as AI data centers across the West Coast. I support clients through technical consultations, solution design, and long-cycle enterprise sales, helping leading tech companies scale with precision and efficiency.Previously, I worked as a Recruiter and Account Manager at Insight Global, where I used my communication and relationship-building skills to connect top-tier candidates with critical roles across various industries. I focused on delivering high-impact staffing solutions while embodying the company’s values of service, integrity, and excellence.Before entering the professional workforce, I played professional basketball in Europe, an experience that sharpened my discipline, resilience, and ability to thrive in high-pressure, multicultural environments. I’m also a proud graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I earned my B.S. in Sociology with a concentration in Organizations and served as team captain of the men’s basketball team.I bring a competitive edge, a team-first mindset, and a passion for solving problems—whether it’s on the court, in the lab, or across a client’s factory floor. I’m always open to new challenges, growth opportunities, and making a lasting impact through people, technology, and strategy.
