What Our Clients Say
Keith is one of the most dedicated, responsive, and professional people I've had the fortune to work with. His passion to bring his projects to execution is unparalleled. Thinking outside of the box with PathForward proved to be one of the most exciting experiences resulting in outstanding collaborations. He has always been an incredible team player and I highly recommend PathForward for any project.
In my 31 years of working with strategic partners, I have not found another company that is as trusting and does what they say they are going to do (or is transparent as to why a goal can’t be met). They are more than consultants who make recommendations and walk away. They actually have print experts on staff that will help you with developing a strategy, implementing the strategy, reporting on findings, tracking savings and sustainability metrics, helping with RFPs, etc. They are a key member of my print team and I wouldn’t have achieved the results I have without them.
