“The expansion of our executive team is timely given the traction we are gaining with our human augmentation robotic systems across both public and private sectors,” said Ben Wolff, chairman and CEO of Sarcos Robotics. “Bill and Tom’s expertise in key market segments will ensure we are best positioned to meet the needs of both our industrial and government customers, both in the U.S. and abroad.”
Keever is an accomplished business leader with deep technology experience in industrial automation sales. Prior to Sarcos, he led large-scale and highly complex global sales teams. With more than 30 years of international experience, Keever has managed teams in EMEA, Asia, and Latin America. During his time at ABB, Keever led the teams that grew their Asia, Latin American, and North American businesses into one of ABB’s most profitable segments.
