December 20, 2022 | Kneat Adds IR Veteran to Lead Investor Engagement

LIMERICK, Ireland, December 20, 2022 /CNW/ – kneat.com, inc. (TSX: KSI) (OTC: KSIOF) (“Kneat” or “the Company”), a leader in digitizing and automating validation and quality processes, is pleased to announce it has appointed Katie Keita to lead its investor relations program.  Katie will report to Kneat’s CFO Hugh Kavanagh, who previously led the effort.

With a 20+ year career in investor relations that began as a consultant for micro and small-cap companies and grew to encompass global tech leaders, Katie has introduced hundreds of investors to quality companies with solid growth trajectories and facilitated strong, long-term and mutually beneficial connections between the two along the way. 

“As Kneat continues to broaden our customer base across the life sciences industry and expand our footprint within those customers, now is an excellent time to focus on expanding our investor community along with it,” said Hugh Kavanagh, CFO of Kneat. “Katie has built trusted relationships with some of the best minds in the investment community by prioritizing transparency, utility and timeliness, which makes her a great fit for Kneat.  As more companies throughout the life sciences supply chain continue to discover and deploy our best-of-breed software to deliver real business value, we are keen to step up engagement with investors so more can participate in our growth journey.” 

Prior to establishing Shopify’s investor relations program in 2015, which she led for seven years, Katie spent nine years growing the investor base for EMC, now Dell EMC.  Katie holds a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and an MBA from the Richard T. Farmer School of Business at Miami University.
