Photography, one of Keith’s passions, has profoundly influenced his leadership style. Through the lens, Keith has learned the importance of perspective, focus, and timing—elements that are crucial not just in capturing a moment but in leading a team. In both photography and leadership, Keith finds clarity and direction by understanding the broader picture and focusing on what truly matters.
