Parents' Day 2008 Keynote Speaker: Keat Wilkins - CEO, President
Sense Corp
Overview
Keat Wilkins is co-founder and president
of Sense Corp, a business and technology consulting firm. Keat
has led the company since 1996, helping it grow from a four-man
partnership with a single contract to a firm with over 80
consultants,
$20 million in annual revenues, and contracts with a diverse
group of Fortune 500 companies in the healthcare, energy,
financial services, manufacturing, and communications
industries.
Bio:
Before founding Sense Corp, Keat earned
an MBA from the University of Texas and held senior management
positions at Tyco Healthcare and Citicorp. He knew that if
corporations could access information more easily and
effectively, their businesses would run better and be more
profitable. In 1996, he left his corporate management job to
embark on a second career as an entrepreneur, launching Sense
Corp as a data warehousing and information technology consulting
firm that truly understands business.
Keat has been lucky or smart enough --
depending on who you ask -- to surround himself with some of the
sharpest business and IT people in the country. Through his
leadership, he helps cultivate their talents and match them with
clients for whom they can produce real value, on time and within
budget. Keat has helped create and foster an entrepreneurial,
forward-thinking culture at Sense Corp, a culture grounded in
strong business ethics and integrity.
Keat lives in St. Louis with his wife
and son. He is actively involved in his community, working with
St. Louis Children’s Hospital, the Boys & Girls Club, the St.
Louis Sports Commission, and chairing the finance committee of
his local school board. He also serves on the board of
directors for the Sense Corp Texas 4000 For Cancer, based at
UT-Austin.
