I reported directly to Keary during his tenure as Head of Digital Marketing & Customer Experience at Fidelity Life | eFinancial, and I also worked closely with him in a dotted-line capacity at WellNow (The Aspen Group). I can say without hesitation that he is the most analytically-minded marketing leader I’ve worked for, and one of the best managers of my career.
Keary inherited a role with significant measurement gaps and immediately recognized that a robust analytics infrastructure was foundational, not optional. He brought a rare fluency in both Media Mix Modeling (MMM) and Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) to the organization, allowing us to evaluate media effectiveness and efficiency with surgical precision. He championed a "Total Search" roadmap that perfectly aligned SEO strategy with Paid Media, while using Invoca’s AI signals to bridge the gap between digital intent and the offline consumer journey.
What makes Keary exceptional is his ability to drive performance across the entire funnel. He turned our digital platforms into high-converting assets through rigorous CRO, A/B, and multivariate testing. Simultaneously, he understood that performance isn't just about the click, it’s about the customer. He successfully integrated the "voice of the customer" into our strategy by leveraging Trustpilot reviews, star ratings, and Net Promoter Score (NPS) to improve the overall Customer Experience (CX).
As a leader, Keary is a genuine advocate for his team. He asks the sharp questions that drive insights rather than just filling slides. He provides the autonomy to own your work while setting a high bar for what "good" looks like. I left Fidelity Life a stronger professional because of the standards he set and the trust he extended.
Keary is exactly the kind of CMO or VP of Marketing that a data-driven, customer-centric organization needs. He builds teams that can execute, measure, and scale. Any company would be lucky to have him.
