Twelve people who have run companies.
Started by an operator, still small on purpose.
Margaret Lund spent fourteen years as finance director of a regional hospital group before she started Keel in 2011. Her first clients were suppliers she had bought from: family companies growing faster than their systems.
We are now four partners, six consultants and two analysts in one office on Marquette Avenue. Every consultant has run a plant, a sales team or a finance department. We take six to eight clients at a time, so a partner can be in the room each week.
We sell no software, take no commission from vendors and do no audit work. The advice has one interest behind it, which is yours.
