Keith J. Krach (born April 1, 1957) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, diplomat, and philanthropist. He is the former chairman and CEO of DocuSign.[1] Krach co-founded Ariba, serving as chairman and CEO,[2] and is recognized for his work in B2B Commerce and Digital Transaction Management.[3] Krach served as chairman of the board of Angie’s List.[4] Krach was the youngest-ever Vice President of General Motors. He served as Chairman of the board of Trustees for Purdue University.[4]

On January 18, 2019, President Donald Trump, upon recommendation of Secretary Pompeo, nominated Krach to be Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment.[5] On March 23, 2019, Krach appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to outline his positions on economic development, the environment, energy policy and his strategy on economic statecraft, after introductions by Senator Portman of Ohio and Senator Young, of Indiana. On April 3, 2019, Krach’s nomination received the unanimous endorsement of the Committee.[6] On June 20, 2019, he was confirmed by unanimous voice vote by the Senate.[7]

Early life and education

Krach was born in Lakewood, Ohio, to Elda and John Krach,[8] and was raised in the small town of Rocky River, Ohio.[9] Krach says that his first and most important mentors were his parents. Krach’s father was “the best leader I’ve ever known in my life. He certainly modeled one heck of a work ethic,” said Krach in a 2017 interview.[10]

At the age of 12, Krach worked as a welder in his father’s machine shop, Litco Industries, which at the time only had five employees.[9] This experience inspired him to pursue a B.S. in industrial engineering from Purdue University.[11] During his sophomore year (1979), Krach received one of two General Motors scholarships awarded to Purdue engineering students. The scholarship paid for tuition, books, a living stipend, summer jobs with the automaker, and a full-time position with the company in Detroit following graduation.[12] Another pivotal moment for Krach was his decision to join the Sigma Chi Fraternity while an undergrad at Purdue. Krach credits Sigma Chi with teaching him many of the leadership and personal skills that have contributed to his success.

After graduating from Purdue (1979), Krach received a fellowship which also included half salary from General Motors to study for an M.B.A. from Harvard University Business School. Upon completion of his master's degree (1981), he joined GM full-time.[11]

Career

Krach has worked in the fields of robotics, engineering software, e-commerce, education, e-signature and digital transaction management. Each of the four companies he built became the market leader and generated shareholder value.[13]

GM and other ventures

Keith Krach with Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors

Krach began his career at General Motors where he worked at GM's Cadillac Division and Technical Center in Detroit, Michigan and the New York Treasurer’s Office under Rick Wagoner. He was named GM's youngest-ever vice president, at 26, in 1984.[14] He was one of the founders of GMF Robotics, a joint venture between GM and Fanuc Robotics,[2] which became the largest provider of industrial robots in the world.[15][2]

Krach left GM and took a job at startup software company Qronos.[16] He joined Qronos as its number 2 executive in 1987 but left after nine months over what he called a conflict over values with the CEO.[16]

In 1988 Krach became a member of the founding team of Rasna Corporation, a mechanical engineering design software company that was sold to PTC for $500 million in 1995.[17] In 1996, Krach was the first entrepreneur in residence at Benchmark Capital, and in 2008, he became a Benchmark CEO in residence.[18]

Ariba

From 1996 to 2003, Krach served as co-founder, chairman, and CEO of business-to-business e-commerce company Ariba.[19] In 1999, Krach took Ariba public on Nasdaq, with an initial valuation of $6 billion, which grew to $40 billion by 2000, making it one of the first internet software companies to go public.[2]

He led successful efforts to secure strategic investments and support from major companies such as SAP, Google, Salesforce, Visa, Dell, Intel, Samsung, NTT, Mitsui, Telstra, Comcast, FedEx, Deutsche Telekom, and the nation of Singapore.[23][24]

In January 2017, Krach named his successor as CEO of DocuSign, with his tenure as chairman ending in January 2019.[25] He received a 97% CEO rating on Glassdoor.[26][27]

DocuSign filed for its IPO in April, 2018. As of that date, Krach was the largest individual shareholder unaffiliated with a venture firm.[28]

In an interview with Inside Philanthropy, Krach signaled his intention to focus more on philanthropy upon stepping down as DocuSign chairman. He stated, "I think we’re at a place in life where it’s really time to give back and pay it forward." [29]

Board memberships and other roles

Personal life

Keith and Metta Krach in 2017

Krach lives in San Francisco, California. He is married to Metta Krach, former senior corporate counsel at Gap Inc., current member of the board of visitors for Georgetown Law School,[86] board of governors for the San Francisco Symphony,[87] and current member of the executive committee of the board of trustees for the Bay Area Discovery Museum.[88] They have five children.[20]

Krach claimed the officers had recently used DocuSign and shared their positive experiences with him.[27]
