Who is Michael Keen?

I am the Director and Senior Solutions Architect in the Enterprise Architecture group at Alliance Technologies in Des Moines, Iowa.

I consider myself an innovative, results-oriented architect and executive.  I have over ten years of experience using technology to reach business objectives and eliminate barriers to business growth.

Before my career in IT, I was a professional alpine climber. I spent over seven years on and around the highest peaks of the world. I have learned what it takes to prepare oneself for large challenges and has taken those experiences and translated them into a very successful career in IT.

Today, I spend most my time speaking in front of C-level executives and other business groups around the U.S. on the how to take Information Technology and transform it into Business Technology. I bring my experiences in strategy and execution from alpine climbing to the world of IT using dynamic IT concepts with virtualization and delivery infrastructures.

I can also be found on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, contributing business technology articles to Brian Madden.com, contributing writing on IT Strategy for IowaBiz.com, and contributing writer for DABCC.com
