Keith Perry Top Executive
I drive productivity, risk reduction, simplification, workforce development, and client satisfaction through creating and scaling process improvement and automation delivery. I apply AI where practical, driving higher ROI, but the primary focus is on customer / user satisfaction, time-to-market, and Agile delivery of optimized solutions that move the needle.
I have designed and built frameworks that enable my teams to thrive in high-paced, competitive environments, creating high satisfaction and engagement while delivering significant results. I lead the startup of data-driven insight delivery and decision support programs in various sectors and domains including IT, finance, manufacturing, as well as nuclear and chemical process engineering. I have focused on linking internal measurements to strategic outcomes and other critical metrics that impact internal and external Customers’ key indicators.
I also lead the development and delivery of training in these areas as a Lean Six Sigma Master Blackbelt.
