Sir Roland Francis Kester Keating (born 5 August 1961) is Chief Executive of the British Library.

He was a producer and director for the Arts and Music department, making programmes for Omnibus, Bookmark (1992–97) and Arena.

[10] The Times alleged that he received a severance package of £375,000 due to his role being closed, which he later paid back in full after learning it wasn't authorised properly.

[11][12][13] He was announced as chief executive designate of the British Library in May 2012, to succeed Dame Lynne Brindley.

[19] The incident highlighted criticisms of Keating's tenure, particularly regarding historic underinvestment in IT infrastructure and staff, which many believe left the Library vulnerable to such attacks.

[21] Writing on the British Library blog, Keating said '...Although this kind of attack was something we had prepared for and rehearsed, and had taken steps to guard against, it was no less of a shock when it happened.
