A marketing and technology expert with decades of experience, he will direct the company's brand, creative marketing, and communications strategies. Keith previously served as Vice President of Global Marketing at Electronic Arts (EA), where he led brand and marketing teams across studios and was one of EA's key growth and revenue leaders through three console generations. He also held prior executive marketing positions scaling tech companies at Talroo, Record360, Sports Illustrated Play and more. Most recently, Keith was CMO at CareHive, where he led marketing for the company's next-generation healthtech platform and B2B2C solutions. Under his direction, POQ will continue to work with gamers, developers, partners and influencers to bring about mass adoption of the company's Quarters, the company's interoperable digital utility token.

Pocketful of Quarters (POQ) is taking back video games for players with its Quarters, a game and platform agnostic digital currency that enables players to seamlessly move tokens and assets between games and utilize them across hundreds of gaming titles and genres. POQ received no-action relief for its platform payment token, Quarters, meaning it is accessible for gamers in the United States and around the world. Additionally, with POQ's patented Zero-click transfer technology, players can earn and spend blockchain and crypto tokens just by taking actions within games.

The company also recently launched its Q2 token. Quarters and Q2s are a two-token buy-and-burn system, where Q2s are the decentralized governance token for the Players DAO. The Q2 token-holder community can vote on grant opportunities for game developers and crowdfund specific game projects.

Backed by an all-star team of investors and advisors like Tim Draper (Draper Associates), Michelle Phan (Co-Founder of Ipsy) and Chris Cross (Formerly of Blizzard Entertainment, THQ, EA, and DreamWorks Interactive), Pocketful of Quarters aims to empower players with choice and transform the way they play with a universal currency across all games.
