Keith Scandone: O3 Co-Founder
As O3’s Co-Founder, Keith focuses on the consultancy’s strategic goals and leading the company's venture initiatives. After 18 years as O3’s acting CEO, Keith’s current role enables him to focus on new growth areas and opportunities for the brand to expand its footprint and position in the market. Whether organic growth through O3’s service offerings, or inorganic growth through partnerships and investments, Keith is always looking at strategic ways to continue to differentiate the company.
Keith thrives on bringing people together and leveraging other’s connections and strengths to help each other, the industry and the community move forward. From spearheading the Forge Conference, Innovation Day, and the 1682 Conference to co-founding the Philadelphia chapter of the Awesome Foundation and Pay It Phorward, these are just some ways in which Keith likes to combine his network with his passion for innovation. His commitment to consistently craft and curate the O3 culture has led the consultancy to be recognized as one of Entrepreneur’s “Top Company Cultures” and “Best Entrepreneurial Companies."
Keith has also sat on several boards and continues to mentor several companies, most notably through the Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies Mentor Connect program. Living in Philadelphia and D.C. has given him a unique network and perspective to grow the O3 brand.
