Ben Keith

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Ben Keith founded 1630 Inc with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and the unique demands of healthcare organizations. With extensive experience in software development and a deep understanding of healthcare workflows, Ben recognized the need for purpose-built solutions that prioritize security, compliance, and usability.

Under Ben's leadership, 1630 Inc has established itself as a trusted partner for healthcare organizations seeking to modernize their technology infrastructure. His hands-on approach and commitment to excellence ensure that every solution delivered meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Ben's technical expertise spans the full spectrum of healthcare technology, from EHR integration and interoperability standards to cloud architecture and data analytics. This comprehensive understanding allows him to guide clients through complex technology decisions with confidence.

Ben's foundation in technology was built during his service in the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a Staff Sergeant from 1994 to 2001. Specializing as a Computer Programmer (MOS 4067) and Small Computer Systems Specialist (MOS 4066), he developed and maintained mission-critical intelligence systems. This experience instilled a deep appreciation for security, precision, and the importance of reliable systems in high-stakes environments—principles that continue to guide 1630 Inc's approach to healthcare technology.

"Healthcare technology should empower providers to focus on what matters most: patient care. Every solution we build is designed with that principle at its core."
- Ben Keith, Founder & CEO

A Message from Our Founder

When I founded 1630 Inc, I set out to build a different kind of technology company. One that truly understands the healthcare industry's unique challenges and constraints. One that treats security and compliance not as checkboxes, but as fundamental principles.

Healthcare organizations deserve technology partners who speak their language, understand their workflows, and appreciate the weight of responsibility that comes with handling protected health information. That's the company I've built, and that's the standard we uphold with every project we undertake.

I invite you to explore how 1630 Inc can support your organization's technology journey. Whether you're facing integration challenges, seeking to modernize legacy systems, or looking to leverage data more effectively, we're here to help.
