Scott Hanrahan

“After working with Scott for seven years, I would like to offer my highest recommendation for Scott Hanrahan, whom I had the pleasure of working with during his tenure as Managing Director of Keyrus US. During his time at Keyrus, Scott demonstrated exceptional leadership and vision, guiding the company through significant growth and industry changes. His creative thinking, deep industry knowledge, and ability to build and lead high-performing teams were instrumental in driving the success of the company. One of the things I admired most about Scott was his dedication to inspiring the team to continuously improve in all areas of the business. Scott was able to get deep into many different business domains and to add value from his experience and his result-oriented mindset. As an example, in order to expand Keyrus’s portfolio of services, Scott initiated, led, and integrated a small consulting company into Keyrus. That acquisition was instrumental to Keyrus’s continued growth and Success. The other thing that made Scott such as valuable and successful leader was his attention to detail. While being responsible for a wide range of functions and teams, he was still able to follow closely on the progress and day-to-day priorities. This made everyone on the team feel that their leader values their work and contribution. That leadership style influenced the overall company culture and motivation. Overall, I believe that Scott would be an asset to any organization. His leadership skills, industry knowledge, and commitment to excellence would make him a highly effective CEO.”

“It is a real privilege to have worked with Scott for nearly a decade. In the eight years we have worked together, Scott has served as my direct manager, mentor, and team lead for the US practice. Scott has proved to be in the top 1% of managers that I have had the pleasure of working with. He has overseen an unprecedented level of growth of the organization, making our subsidiary the most exciting driver of returns in the entire Group. When we started working together, the company was focused on staffing consultants who could work with a few core technologies. Scott defined the strategic vision for growth at our company, developing the sales practice, forging closer relationships with our key vendors, and overseeing an exponential expansion of the team to over six regional offices. The result is that our organization grew over 1000% in the eight years we worked together. Our offerings have expanded beyond a few technologies to include strategic vision and planning, cloud and engineering services, and a full data intelligence capability. Our organization formalized into an effective management structure, with a full sales team, finance department, and human-resources function. Our organization became a leading partner for our core vendors with subject matter expertise in a variety of industry verticals from finance to nonprofit work. We became indispensable for our partners and clients. Scott was the lifeblood of this growth because he identified what the organization needed and built effective teams to address any blockers at scale. His instincts are impeccable regarding both the direction to take the organization and in identifying the right people to make things happen. As my mentor and direct manager, Scott afforded me the flexibility to develop new skills and to lead my own teams with his example. His management style is hands-on when needed and more advisory when the situation afforded it. He always invested in our team and gave us whatever we needed to succeed, both technically and personally. He always addressed any concerns immediately with thoughtful attention. He set the standard of being transparent about the state of the company, direction, and team. Scott is a leader that people respect and look up to. Our people felt connected to their work and colleagues, which is perhaps his greatest accomplishment within the organization.”
