His leadership approach is so unique and personalized – the Charlotte market is lucky to have him,” noted Gary.
In commenting on his transition, Keith said, “I am thrilled to be back in Charlotte. I spent a few years here before moving to the D.C. area and love Charlotte – it is a thriving region, and the energy is contagious. Following the footsteps of Gary will certainly be a challenge but I am excited by the opportunity to continue to grow careers, exceed our clients’ expectations and drive business growth in the region.”
