Everyone possesses influence, whether they realize it or not; however, some wield their influence to create shifts in thinking and behaviors that make the achievement of great things more likely.

Wellabe CEO Dave Keith is the wielding type. Since stepping into the CEO role in 2024, Dave has been front and center — rallying employees to live the company's values, challenging them to continuously improve, and keeping them focused on all they've accomplished and all they're aiming to achieve tomorrow.

It’s an investment that hasn’t gone unnoticed. Dave was recently named one of the Iowa 500: Most Influential Leaders by the Corridor Business Journal, an accolade reflecting both Dave and Wellabe’s influence in the community.

The 500 were selected based on their roles in top executive-level leadership positions, working with the most impactful companies and organizations in Iowa. They included leaders representing 14 categories and considered both privately and publicly held companies, as well as nonprofits and economic sectors of city and county operations.
