“Purdue has turned out an astonishing list of great business leaders, but if we gave a ‘Most Admired CEO’ award, our Chairman, Keith, would have won it a long time ago.”

Change is the most powerful word in the English or any language. Without change we won’t develop, prosper, or grow. And in the business world you change, or you die, it’s that simple. The best way to control the future is to invent it.
The most important lessons aren’t written in a book. I have the battles scars to prove it. My desire at this point in my career is simply to inspire the next generation of global leaders along their journey.
The catalyst for genius and the secret sauce for building high performance teams is diversity of thought and having different temperaments, talents and convictions.
A Triumph of Transformational Leadership in the Social Sector
On October 25, at City Year’s Annual Gala in Levi’s Stadium, the non-profit youth organization honored Silicon Valley power couple, Metta and Keith Krach, with its 2018 City Year Citizen Leadership Award. It’s the first time City Year has bestowed the honor on a couple, recognizing their inspiration, dedication and service to educational causes. What brings the Krachs and City Year together is a shared dedication to transformational leadership, a commitment to paying it forward, and the mission of transforming young lives.
“Three attributes stand out about Krach. “Character, as in, do the right thing; global vision; and then the third thing is joy. It’s so authentic it’s contagious.”
—Investor’s Business Daily
“Ariba is one of those companies that comes along and creates a sea of change in global businesses. Keith Krach…is the guy rowing the boat.”
—Forbes
“Keith is a world class entrepreneur. He‘s a pioneer in the fields of robotics, e-commerce and the digitization of business. ‘Brilliance, dedication, creativity and energy,’ these are the attributes that colleagues used to describe him.”
