Respectfully suggest addition of the following two sentences to the end of the final paragraph under the "Career" subhead:
On May 15, 2020, Keith was among the business leaders and celebrity guests who were commencement speakers for “I’m Still Graduating”, a virtual commencement event hosted by Her Campus. The event was organized in light of the cancellation of many graduation ceremonies around the United States due to social distancing rules during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Respectfully suggest the following be added as a new paragraph at the end of the "Career" section:
In June 2020, Keith was quoted in media outlets in the U.S. and abroad in conjunction with her role with P&G Responsible Beauty, a systems-based approach that involves representatives of several global non-government organizations (NGOs) — including Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; World Wildlife Fund (WWF); Rainforest Alliance; Skin Health Alliance; and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials — in efforts to accelerate progress towards a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient future.

- Not done: 1. Sources are press releases 2. The proposed text is so full of PR speech and namedrops that the paragraph doesn't seem to include any information relevant to a reader 3. Being quoted somewhere is in and of itself rarely notable enough to be mentioned in an encyclopedia. – Thjarkur (talk) 17:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Respectfully suggest that after the third paragraph in the “Career” section, the following paragraph be added:
In November 2020, Keith was elected to the Board of Directors of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. She is also a member of the Executive Board of CEW and is Co-Chair, Board & Executive Committee of the Personal Care Products Council.

Partly done Only the WSJ source is reliable for the purpose of a BLP. Accordingly, I have only implemented what could be sourced from there. Since it only mentions that she is a member of CEW, I have not included it, since it's not a notable information. JBchrch talk 09:48, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

In the final sentence under “Career”, would like “board” changed to “boards”, and add Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) as a third board that Keith is on, so the updated graf is:
As of June 2021, Keith is on the boards of Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW), and the Personal Care Products Council.

Would like to have “board” changed to “boards” in the final sentence of the “Career” section, as the sentence refers to three different boards.

Respectfully suggest that in the “Career” section, the fourth paragraph be updated as shown to to reflect that Keith has been named to Fortune’s Most Powerful Women International list for four consecutive years:
For four consecutive years, Keith has been named to Fortune's international list of most powerful women in business, first entering the roster at #26 in 2017.
Additionally: add the following new source to the existing ones for that sentence: “R. Alexandra Keith”. fortune.com. 21 October 2020. Retrieved 27 July 2021.
