Shane Hawes

Keiko is a smart finance executive who has an outstanding work ethic and work product. She thinks ahead and proactively provides insight and reports to ensure all the bases are covered. There are few people you can recommend without knowing a company culture. However,I highly recommend Keiko for any opening she is pursuing. I would hire her today if I had an opening. She also has a warm and nice persona.

I have had the privilege to work with Keiko for 12 years at ARKRAY. In 2010 when we hired Keiko, we were seeking an accountant. We got so much more. Her drive for continuous learning was impressive - passing her CPA exam, learning Microsoft Access, constantly improving her Excel skills (the pivot table queen), leading the budget process, implementing the Vena FP&A software, contributing to a successful SAP ERP implementation, leading corporate governance, becoming our go-to Japanese translator and interpreter, and taking on the sustainability leadership role. She relishes giving credit to others and her infectious positivity truly influenced the ARKRAY culture. She is always willing to help others, and even more important, she is excellent at recognizing when others need help. I certainly miss her, but I’m very happy she has found the opportunity to pursue her passion.
