Keithley will provide his expert technology and strategic guidance to Icertis as the company expands its leadership position of the Icertis Contract Management (ICM) platform.
"As a longtime business professional in the media industry, I understand and appreciate the business intelligence that can be gleaned from a single contract document," said Michael Keithley. "What Icertis has done to traditional contract management with its cloud-based ICM platform, has created new business efficiencies that stakeholders, like general counsels, CFOs, CPOs and sales leaders, never thought possible. I’m looking forward to being a part of something this revolutionary."
In his current role at CAA, Keithley oversees all aspects of technology and digital media at the agency. He also plays an active role in decision-making across other business units including, business development, corporate consulting, social media, digital media and entertainment marketing.

"Michael is one of the most forward-leaning and visionary CIOs I have met," said Samir Bodas, Cofounder and CEO of Icertis.
