Meet Keenan D. Hogg, Founder and Talent Strategist at OPNX
Keenan D. Hogg is the Founder and Talent Strategist at OPNX, where he helps professionals navigate job transitions with purpose, clarity, and confidence. With more than 15 years of experience in recruiting, talent acquisition leadership, and career consulting, Keenan has guided hundreds of job seekers and hiring leaders alike through the complexities of talent strategy and career growth. But his calling to launch OPNX came not just from expertise—it came from experience. Having faced career setbacks and the emotional toll of the job search firsthand, Keenan understands what it feels like to question your direction, to be overlooked, and to wonder what’s next. He has participated in outplacement services that promised support but delivered little more than recycled templates and surface-level guidance—offering the what without the how or why. That disconnect drove him to create something better. At OPNX, Keenan blends his insider knowledge of how hiring really works with a personal, empathetic approach that meets people where they are. His process is structured but human, strategic but never transactional. It reflects the lessons he’s learned through both professional wins and personal storms—including the deep role his faith has played in keeping him anchored through seasons of uncertainty. That foundation has shaped OPNX into more than a service—it’s a mission to help others find their footing and move forward with resilience. Today, Keenan continues to work closely with clients at all levels, helping them uncover their value, elevate their messaging, and unlock doors they didn’t think were open to them. He’s known for his honest insight, steady guidance, and relentless commitment to helping others succeed—not just in landing a job, but in reclaiming their confidence along the way.
