Hi I'm Kieran
Growth Strategy & Human-Centered Design Executive
I have a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of B2B, B2G, and B2C businesses. As the Founder and CEO of the Blankslate Group, LLC. I oversee all elements of growth for the organization, including the creation and rollout of new offerings, the development and implementation of market strategies, the management of day-to-day operations, and the establishment of key partnerships that aligned with the company's workforce, talent, and startup investment initiatives. All of which were anchored by best practices for growth, inclusion, and data-driven operational procedures.
I am equally adept at building transformation strategies and helping organizations understand their customers and adopt leading-edge tools and techniques to create valuable, user-centric products and service models that meet their needs and drive success. My unique perspective on optimizing business-customer interactions has resulted in real commercial and operational outcomes.
If you're interested in gaining a competitive human-centered edge with new technology, don't hesitate to get in touch and see how we can work together to increase our impact.

Are you building with people, systems, and technology in mind?
Many organizations encounter problems that arise from a lack of consideration for people, systems, and technology. This can lead to inefficient processes, poor user experiences, and a lack of alignment with business goals.​
​
These problems can have significant consequences for businesses, including decreased productivity, customer dissatisfaction, and decreased profitability. They can also lead to conflicts within the organization, as different stakeholders may have different priorities and perspectives on how to address the problem. How can you solve this?
