Mariner Partners Inc. is pleased to announce Chris Keevill has joined us as a partner, shareholder, and Chief Operating Officer across our businesses, effective January 4, 2022.

“Chris has been a long-time friend and colleague of the team at Mariner, and we are thrilled to have him join our growing technology company,” says Curtis Howe, CEO Mariner. Keevill joins Howe and other founding partners Gerry Pond and Bob Justason as a major shareholder.

Mariner, founded in 2002, provides technology products and high-value services to a range of clients in telecom, public sector, energy, and other medium-to-large enterprises.

“These people care about people, and I’m thrilled to be a part of this incredibly talented team, focused on customer-driven innovation,” says Keevill, an entrepreneur based in Halifax, who has been part of numerous marketing and technology companies over the past 25 years. “I started my career at NBTel when Mariner’s founders were there building the most innovative small telco in the world; so, for me, this feels like coming home.”

Mariner has experienced unprecedented growth, adding significant team members before and during the pandemic. The hiring is expected to further accelerate; Keevill’s focus will be on the next stage of growth for Mariner, helping more companies thrive through their digital transformation.

Mariner clients include major communications companies around the world, large public sector organizations, utility services providers, financial institutions, and Atlantic Canadian-based enterprise customers.
