About Keegan Glade

At just 26, young entrepreneur Keegan Glade is the Business Manager at Stone Manor on 79th, a family-owned wedding and event venue in the heart of downtown Overland Park, Kansas. Keegan is also a Pricing Analyst at Synergy Flavors, a global manufacturer and supplier of flavorings, extracts, and essences to create impactful taste solutions owned by the Carbery Group.

Stone Manor on 79th, a one-of-kind space for weddings and special occasions, is housed in the historic Strang Line Car Barn built in 1908. The event space, entirely renovated this year, offers the warmth and character of natural stone walls, a wood-planked barrel-roof ceiling, and crystal chandeliers. As Business Manager of his family business since earlier this year, Keegan welcomes the opportunity to serve others, providing couples with a beautiful place to celebrate their special day and helping make their events everything they want and dream. He manages the venue’s accounting, finance, and business and customer relationships.

Helping to build the event business, Keegan and a colleague attended the WedKC 2024 Spring/ Winter trade show in Kansas City in March, representing the wedding venue at Stone Manor on 79th.

Keegan Glade began his career right out of college at Synergy Flavors in 2021 as a Business Development GDP Associate, where he partnered with the Sales, Marketing, and Commercial teams to improve and maintain strategic business relationships, support Sales in targeting strategic business prospects, and increase revenue and profitability in support of three-year strategic plans. He developed growth plans for Synergy’s business segments to enhance competencies, increase revenues in strategic business segments, and improve the diversification of its business portfolio. This resulted in over 12 new business opportunities with new and existing customers and more than $15 million in revenue.
