keith@hailyard.com | what people are saying about keith

The founder of Hailyard, Keith is a recognized leader and speaker who thrives on enabling entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams to achieve rapid growth. A decade in the trenches saw Keith leading people ops and growth for one of the highest ranked startups in Colorado, producing sold-out concert series, and winning awards for culture and team development. He now works closely with emerging and high-growth leaders, executive teams, startups, accelerator systems and graduate programs.

Keith is known for his grounded, authentic and calming presence - and is consistently praised for his ability to quickly identify and uncover core issues and work towards collaborative and constructive solutions. He holds an MBA with a focus in organizational development from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder, serves as Coach in Residence at the Techstars Boulder, Miami, + Workforce Development Accelerators, is the Managing Director of Energize Colorado’s Community Accelerator, and has studied conscious culture, leadership, and organizational development extensively under Wayne Boss and Sue Heilbronner.

Keith is an enneagram nine (the peacemaker), and an INFJ. His zones of genius include making perfectly-timed playlists and restoring his twin 1985 dodge trucks. He currently resides in Boulder, CO…and yes, that is his handwriting. (so cool, right!?)
