Prior to that, Keith spent 10 years at the United States Department of State, where he developed understanding of the workings of government, diplomacy, leadership and collaboration. 

Previously, Keith held several management positions in the domain name industry for over a decade, including a registrar and a registry, where he actively engaged with the top-level domain and global internet governance space, advocating for the evolution of the governmental multi-stakeholder model.

Keith has been an active member in the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) multi-stakeholder community for over 20 years, most recently serving as chair of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) Phase 2A Working Group.
