Chartered Management Consultant of the Year
Keith is a globally recognised quality engineering and AI assurance leader. He delivers complex transformation with pace and rigour – and the courage to give decision-makers the unvarnished truth.
He has over 25 years’ experience in software quality management, leading global teams at UBS, Citigroup, Fiserv and Barclays before joining KPMG in 2020.
As a Director of Quality Engineering, he leads KPMG’s quality engineering capability for financial services and shaped the firm’s approach to AI assurance. His practice drives around £10 million in annual revenue for the firm.
Keith’s client impact is defined by clarity and an unwaveringly ethical approach. For the UK’s national payments infrastructure programme, he designed an end-to-end testing approach and built a managed testing service from scratch.
Industry testing was completed early and over 35 participant banks were certified against the new payments architecture.
Keith stands out as a Chartered Consultant for his leadership under pressure.
When brought into a stalled £100 million ERP programme, he was recognised for his integrity and bravery. He “held up a challenging mirror”, in the client’s words, to stakeholders, and ensured decisions were grounded in evidence. He earned board-level trust to take the project live.
Keith is a EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award winner, prolific publisher and international speaker, and advocates for access to technology careers. He’s developed programmes to help 1,000+ people from underrepresented communities get into tech – leading to three invitations to the White House to advise on training.
