John Keith’s Summary
According to "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham: Strategic, Learner, Achiever, Input, Futuristic. Putting the pieces together to clarify the vision or goal, devising a strategy for realizing that vision, and understanding the details well enough to make it happen. Those are things I do well; other things I strive to improve every day.
I have been a participant in, and supporter of, the U.S. and global standards community since 1992. In 1997, I co-founded Kavi Corporation, a company dedicated to bringing sorely needed web infrastructure and collaboration services to standards setting organizations. My singular goal was to create the company, team, and products that could best serve the daily needs of our customers, while ensuring we also built a long term, sustainable business.
In 2007, I joined three other Kavi employees in a new company, Cloud Four, focused on the design and implementation of web and mobile web applications. Cloud Four also works with Kavi to offer Kavi's customers the full range of web-related services they require.

November 2007 — Present (1 year 1 month)
Cloud Four is a new company, so every position in the company carries a wide range of startup responsibilities. At this point, we are all doing a bit of everything. So, instead of talking about myself, here is a bit of information about the company itself:
Cloud Four designs and develops web sites and applications that are tailored to your objectives. But we don’t stop there. We couple your objectives with the needs of the people who visit your site to make sure that both you and the your customers accomplish their goals.
We believe that authenticity and integrity matter. We give you the advice we would give ourselves if we were in your shoes—even if it means less work for us. You can be certain that when you collaborate with us, that we’re partners working diligently to make sure that your project is successful.
