Ed Keohane

I'm a management consultant in digital health, finance and media. In early 2020 I created and launched Prova - Europe’s first workplace COVID-19 screening and health pass, used in high-impact sectors such as medicine and aviation - and I manage Star Catalyst, a digital innovation and transformation consultancy with clients across Europe, Africa and the US.

I studied Mechanical Engineering at Bristol (graduated 1996), where I designed and built a robotic violin player. My biggest interests are my family, then music, climate science/politics, creativity, technology, nature, evolutionary biology, maths, complexity, language, architecture and photography.

I enjoy solving thorny problems and making it happen. #noinstructionmanual

In 2019 I designed and built Hooha, an instant payments and smart contracts platform on iOS and Android, integrated with all the major online marketplaces. 

From 2016 to 2018, I led the digital transformation of Europe’s largest broadcaster, Bauer Media. We built, launched and scaled Europe's most popular audio streaming platform (1bn+ hrs and 4.8* apps from 250k+ reviews) and created a market-leading international audio ad network.

Prior to Bauer, I ran Whatcar.com, creating the largest consumer base of in-market car buyers in the UK.

I also help manage Cnewr Estate, a beautiful hill farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
