Keyrouse steps into this role as Gert-Jan Jansen, the outgoing CEO, remains as executive director of the board and senior advisor for client engagements.
Both men co-founded Rotate with a mission to ‘turn data into action’ by developing and providing software products, strategy consulting and market data designed to empowering airlines, airports, and other air cargo companies in their commercial decision making.
Since its inception in June 2022, Rotate has expanded its operations across two continents, now boasting a team of 35 professionals.
“We always envisioned a seamless transition in leadership when the time was right,” says Jansen. “With the remarkable growth we’ve experienced in just 18 months, thanks to Ryan and the larger leadership team, the time for this change is now. As co-founder, I remain committed to contributing to Rotate's continued success and am excited about the future we're shaping together."
As the newly appointed CEO, Keyrouse articulates his vision for Rotate's future, stating, "Over the last two years, Rotate has established a robust foundation. The focus was on building the strongest team in air cargo for building data and software products, and expanding our capabilities with strategy consulting. Our products have garnered significant interest among our expanding customer base. Our focus now is on execution and ongoing innovation in collaboration with our partners – both those in industry and the other members of CargoTech."
Keyrouse brings to Rotate over two decades of industry expertise, having undertaken more than 50 air cargo strategy consulting projects across 30 countries. His career journey includes pivotal roles at Boeing and KPMG, culminating in his tenure as Managing Director at Seabury Cargo since 2010.
