A bit about me

I'm Shane Keats, the producer behind If You Can Keep It. I conceived of it as a way to channel my anger in a way that adds scale to the extraordinary network of existing organizations fighting for voting rights.

 

During the day, I manage the industry strategy and analysis practice for Akamai* Technologies’ video streaming business.

Before that, I spent 15 years at tech start-ups.

I’ve been a writer and producer for NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and a senior producer for CNN.

I spent a few years working in politics a long time ago.

And I chose the theater because my father was an actor. I grew up doing homework backstage.
