Enterprise technology and transactions
Leadership roles across mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, technology, and risk.
KEITH KOO / SPEAKER & HOST
An operator’s perspective
on the decisions
that shape institutions.
Keith Koo is Vice President at US Capital, an international investment bank. He brings enterprise technology, transaction, and risk experience to conversations about how leaders make decisions.
BACKGROUND & PERSPECTIVE
A career working through
complex decisions.
Keith is Vice President at US Capital, an international investment bank, the founder and host of Silicon Valley Insider®, and the founder of Guardian Insight Group.
His background spans enterprise technology, mergers and acquisitions, and third-party risk. Before Guardian Insight Group, he led MUFG’s Third Party Risk Management program, with responsibility for the policies and controls used to oversee vendors.
Earlier leadership roles at Cisco and HP involved technology, transactions, and risk management. These experiences inform his focus on decision rights, operating evidence, and accountability.
On the show and in executive sessions, Keith examines how those responsibilities change as companies adopt technology, integrate acquisitions, and grow.
