Keith Falk

“I had the pleasure of reporting directly to Keith during our time at DLJ Financial. Culture Pro: Keith is a culture builder with an authentic interest in people and their well-being both personally and professionally. He not only promoted wellness and growth, he delivered on it by partnering with me and built training programs which gave new people to the industry an opportunity at making five-figure paychecks within months of starting a position with us. He also established a culture that was award-winning year after year throughout his tenure at DLJ. Change Enthusiast: He anticipated the innovation of change initiatives that would promote people productivity, organizational efficiency and cost effectiveness. He continuously kept up with the latest industry trends and best practices which inspired me to continuously do the same for Talent Acquisition. Stabilizer: Keith led the charge making the decisions that stabilized the company through one of the toughest markets the industry had seen in years. He led this during a time we were changing our core business system, talent strategy, products and marketing initiatives. Stabilizing the environment for the company during this time was crucial and he took it on without hesitation. Mentor: Keith has a style of leadership that anyone would be lucky to work under. His door is always open and, when sought, always provided fair level-headed council when needed. He trusts his direct reports wholeheartedly and let them run with what they do best. He provides air coverage when needed and allows you to make the call when he needs to step in. Passing on knowledge is a part of his core so he is very open to sharing what he can to give insight and an overall understanding of the big picture which allowed me to better understand the reasonings behind business decisions. I’ve learned a great deal about business development, leadership, TA best practices, strategy and how to be a change agent from him and for that I am forever grateful. Any company would be lucky to have Keith as a strategic C-suite leader! ”

“Keith Falk and I have been colleagues for over fifteen years. We were peers in several companies, Tradaq, and Verio (formerly Best Internet), and more recently at Cypress Strategy Group. My roles in Finance and Corporate Governance required me to work closely with Human Resources; in such I have obtained a relevant perspective of that function. Keith’s ability to assemble and develop the right Human Resources organization is exceptional. His true value comes from his ability to build a great culture. His leadership skills are outstanding as evidenced by the success of his teams. His management expertise made a positive difference in our businesses.”
