About us

We provide transformative solutions for leading companies, powered by our Triad of Skills.

/ˈkēˌstōn/

A species of plant or animal that produces a major impact (as by predation) on its ecosystem and is considered essential to maintaining optimum ecosystem function or structure.

02

A fast-growing tech-enabled services firm that works with the world’s leading companies on their most challenging problems and biggest opportunities.

Our history

Keystone was established in the early 2000s by Greg Richards and his former Harvard Business School professor Marco Iansiti to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the internet and digital technology. With roots in Boston and San Francisco, our presence has grown around the world, expanding to New York City in 2010, Seattle in 2015, and London in 2022. Keystone is ready to help clients no matter where they are.

Vision

Built on the belief that economists have the ability to transform enterprises with the right tools at their fingertips, Richards and Iansiti designed a future for consulting that went beyond theoretical frameworks and PowerPoint presentations.

Our founders believed that modern consulting should integrate economics, strategy, and technology to drive true digital transformation and business model innovation. That’s what we call our “Triad of Skills."

Consulting redefined
ETA

Keystone's Global Economic and Technology Advisory (ETA) group emerged to support enterprises dealing with an evolving regulatory landscape. Technology firms were enduring high-stakes litigation, and our tech-native approach and Triad of Skills equipped Keystone well to navigate these issues.
