JMÎCHAEĹE KELLER



Jmîchaeĺe Keller has achieved tremendous success as an investor, entrepreneur, and passionate leader. In his last role as a CEO with MeetingMatrix International, a software company in the hospitality industry, he led the company to market dominance and a large successful exit in 2012. Under Jmîchaele's leadership, MeetingMatrix received numerous awards including 4 consecutive Gold Adrian Awards, 7 Davey Awards, and the 2010 and 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. 

Turning his attention to the cannabis industry in May of 2015, his private venture fund Delft Blue Horizons quickly became a lead investor in many of the most exciting and innovative companies in the cannabis industry.

Recognizing Jmîchaeĺe’s operational and leadership strengths, as well as his experience in growing a software company to the point of a successful exit, he was appointed to be the CEO of Steep Hill in December of 2015 and to a two-year term as a member of the Board of Directors.

At his core, Jmîchaeĺe is about transformation. He understands how to “wake people up” to their own potential, while implementing strategies and systems that strengthen financial models, implement agile software development, and build effective and cohesive teams. His passion lies in architecting new-paradigm work cultures that break down the walls of conventional thinking, achieve true work-life balance, and demonstrate that: “it’s profitable to do the right thing”.
