New York, July 2026 – Stephen joins Moonshot from Schneider Electric, where he spent over 20 years building an exceptional track record in operational leadership, most recently serving as NAM Operations Leader and Senior Director. He takes up the role of Vice President of Project Management at Moonshot, a US-based manufacturer of custom switchboards and modular data center solutions, delivering innovative, scalable infrastructure for some of the most demanding environments in the industry.

Stephen’s two decades at Schneider Electric, one of the world’s foremost names in energy management and automation, equipped him with the depth of operational expertise and the senior leadership credentials that a business of Moonshot’s ambition demands. His appointment marks a significant addition to the Moonshot leadership team as the company continues to scale its project management capabilities alongside its growing portfolio of data center and electrical infrastructure solutions.

The search was led by Lucas Chadwick at Metric.

Of the process, Stephen Keiser said: “Lucas approached our discussions with professionalism and respect for both my time and current employment. He fostered an environment of trust where we could openly discuss opportunities that aligned with my career aspirations. His communication was accurate, transparent, and professional, and he demonstrated a genuine interest in representing me as a candidate. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Lucas again in the future.”

Speaking of the partnership, Paul Arcement, Recruitment Director at Moonshot, commented: “Taking a shot on working with Metric has turned out to be a great decision. Lucas and the team have been fantastic about proactively communicating and seeking feedback, both for themselves and their candidates, owning up to any mistakes if they’d made them, working hard to understand Moonshot and our needs, and showing evidence of active listening through the quality of candidates they provided. Great experience overall.”

Speaking of the placement, Lucas Chadwick commented: “Stephen’s career speaks for itself. He had over two decades at Schneider Electric, progressing to Senior Director level within one of the most respected names in the energy and infrastructure space. Placing a leader of that calibre into a business as ambitious as Moonshot is exactly what Metric strives for. It is a reflection of the quality of the partnership we have built with Paul and the team, and I have no doubt Stephen will make an outstanding impact.”
