Keith Parker

Senior Director, Global Corporate and Executive Communications

In a career distinguished by high-profile strategic communications roles, I, Keith Parker, have been pivotal in shaping narratives at the nexus of global leadership and advanced technology. My tenure as a senior advisor for the President of the UAE stands out, where I spearheaded the communications office's development and operations. This role demanded a nuanced approach to conveying the President's vision, requiring deep dives into the underlying principles of each narrative, ensuring messages resonated internationally with profound impact.

Transitioning into the corporate sector, my current role as the head of communications at Qlik has seen me shift how the B2B AI company articulates its value proposition. At Qlik, I have successfully reoriented the company's communications strategy to leverage AI not just as a technological asset, but as a core element of its narrative, aligning with broader industry trends and positioning Qlik at the forefront of the AI dialogue.

My journey began in Alaska, instilling a resilience that propelled my academic pursuits in Global Business and International Relations at the University of Southern California and subsequent ventures across diverse cultural landscapes. These experiences laid the groundwork for a career that spans continents and sectors, from strategic initiatives in Abu Dhabi to transformative communications strategies in the tech industry.

Today, based in Austin, Texas, my commitment to strategic narrative development continues, merging technological innovation with comprehensive communication strategies. This dual focus not only drives corporate success at Qlik but also embodies a broader vision for impactful communication in the digital age, demonstrating a unique ability to navigate and shape the complex dynamics of global narratives.
