"Part of our vision at Merchants Fleet is to continually think and act differently, in both large and small ways," said Keegan. "Being a member of this council will expose us to the best technological minds available and provide Merchants with the opportunity to be a leading resource for others as well."

As members of the council, they will be invited to work with a professional editorial team to share expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com and to contribute to published Q&A panels alongside other experts.

Keegan and Charlton were vetted and selected by a review committee. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

"Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world," said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Technology Council.
