Keith Yamashita
The Institute for Moral Imagination
Keith is trained as an economist—focused on highly predictive quantitative micro-econometric models. He thought he was going to be an economist for The World Bank.
​
His career has played out as everything but that. His first boss was Steve Jobs. He worked on launching ideas and products in the world. From there, Keith founded SYPartners (a transformation consultancy), the kyu collective (one of the world’s largest creative collectives), and This Human Moment (an online community working through the suffering of the pandemic to find a new humanism on the other side).
​
On the eve of his 50th year, Keith had a devastating stroke that stole his speech, his cognition, and put his career at risk. In that rebuilding year—when he could not work, could not lead, could not express his ideas—Keith began a journey of deep reflection on what really matters. This year—ten years into this renewal—he brings to Pathstone’s conference wisdom about what it really means to pursue the life you prefer.
​
Keith holds an M.A. in Organizational Behavior and a B.A. in Quantitative Economics from Stanford University.
