About Paul McKeithan

First and foremost, I’m part of a great family that has taught me the value of a strong work ethic. My father showed me the “how” and my wonderful wife and two amazing daughters continue to be the fire behind the “why”. I love:Developing business growth strategies both organic and through acquisitions. I enjoy the thrill of finding the right fit to bring companies and cultures together for greater synergies. Building things, working on projects, such as- business units, revenue streams, and customer relationships- the two-story treehouse I built with my dad that The Treehouse Master TV show came to see. Pushing and outperforming myself. Coaching people who really want to learn. I’m moved to tears watching someone achieve a dream or triumph over adversity.(Forget watching the Olympics!) If there’s passion, a purpose bigger than oneself, then I’m all in. Creating a new language around technical applications, connecting it to customer language to maximize its value.EXPERTISEBusiness Development & GrowthOrganic and inorganic growth strategyContinuous Process ImprovementDigital TransformationForming New Profit CentersFueling Culture ChangeGlobal Program ManagementKeynote SpeakingMajor Account Sales StrategyPartnerships & AlliancesTraining & Organization DevelopmentHIGHLIGHTSDeveloping growth strategy behind key acquisitions to shape a new company division from 100 mUSD to 600 mUSDDelivering keynotes and notable speeches, e.g: Microsoft industrial IoT event with its Partner, General Manager in its manufacturing space; Dynamics Experience (Netherlands); Industrial IoT (IIoT); Raleigh IoT; Tizibit; Victam (Germany); Petfood Forum (USA); GRAPAS Award (Germany); and Ipack Ima (Italy).Innovating model of installing digital services in the world’s largest food producers, now used firm-wide, growing it from no product to $5M in sales and $1M of annual subscription for three years.Mentoring and coaching internal Innovation Challenge teams, helping one win and position itself as an internal start-up that now consults with customers on CO2 emission reduction.Spearheading and delivering a highly respected and profitable industry seminar, now in its 20th year- despite initial resistance.Pairing market-to-market and R&D with customers by leveraging digital connectivity, unique in the manufacturing space.
