Robert Keane is the founder, CEO and chairman of Cimpress, a strategically focused group which helps millions of businesses build brands, stand out, and grow via custom print and promotional products.

He founded the company in 1995 to provide small businesses with high-quality, full-color, professionally designed marketing materials at low cost, in low volumes, easily and quickly. During the startup days of the company, Robert served as an external consultant to Microsoft with the Microsoft Publisher desktop publishing product team for whom he researched and advised on the graphic design and printing needs of small businesses in Europe.

Robert earned his BA. in Economics from Harvard College (USA) and his MBA from INSEAD (France). Prior to attending INSEAD, he spent nine years in a variety of roles in management consulting and in general management at a small company that focused on the engineering and production of custom electronic components for the defense and aerospace industries.

The board of directors’ principal responsibility is to oversee the management of the company and its subsidiaries and, in so doing, serve the best interests of Cimpress and its business.
