Keystone Group International

After working in corporate America for over 13 years, our CEO & founder, Jaime Taets wanted to do something more impactful.

During a family vacation to Keystone, South Dakota, Jaime’s stress was at an all-time high. She wasn’t feeling fulfilled and knew there was something more she should be doing. In 2013, she left her corporate job and launched Keystone Group International, with the goal of leveraging her business experience to help entrepreneurial companies grow and thrive.

Building upon that goal, Keystone came to life as a partner that exists to transform the organizations and leaders they work with on every level. It is their purpose, and it is what gets them out of bed each morning.

Keystone will transform the way you work, the way you lead, the way you grow, and the way you succeed. This purpose influenced their core values—and they’re not just cool words on the website. They live and breathe these values every day.

Together, the Keystone team gives companies and individuals who are ready to change the tools and knowledge to achieve more than they thought they could.
