Speaking

Book Keith Koo to speak

Keith Koo is a thirty-year operator at the intersection of technology, capital, and governance — an investment banker, governance strategist, and host of Silicon Valley Insider® and Ten Talents Media™. He speaks as an active practitioner, not a retired one: still sourcing deals, running risk, and reading the market in real time.

Audiences leave with something they can use on Monday — not motivation, but judgment: the distinctions, questions, and decision frameworks a leader actually needs when the stakes are real and the answer isn’t obvious.

Signature topics

  • AI — the opportunity and the risk. What boards and executive teams actually need to decide, and where the governance gaps are hiding.
  • Cybersecurity, third-party and vendor risk. The exposure that lives outside your own walls — drawn from regulator-facing risk leadership at a global bank.
  • Mergers and acquisitions. Lessons from 100+ integrations and divestitures — what makes a deal work, and what quietly kills one.
  • Innovation and Silicon Valley. What’s really happening in the Valley, past the headlines, from someone inside the room.
  • Entrepreneurship and startup ecosystems. How founders and the machinery around them actually create — and destroy — value.
  • Capital and fundraising. What investors actually look for, and why most rounds stall before they start.
  • Faith-driven leadership and purpose. The Ten Talents™ lane — stewardship, calling, and leading with conviction in the marketplace.
  • Media and storytelling. Building a platform and the art of the interview — lessons from nine years on the mic.
  • Leadership and reinvention. Moving across industries and identities without losing the thread.
