Keynote Speaker: What It Takes To Be Investable

Strategy, Risk & Capital Decisions That Institutional Investors Reward

Credible. Captivating. Compelling.

Ooi Keong (OK) LEE delivers candid, practical, framework-driven keynotes for board directors, C-suites, and institutional investors on the decisions that create—or destroy—investor confidence.

Drawing on 16 years evaluating 300+ companies and transactions at Temasek ($434B AUM), OK translates institutional buy-side perspectives into actionable board-level insights. His work contributed 180–220 bps systematic outperformance through independent review, debiasing protocols, and margin-of-safety disciplines.

​As an Independent Director of an SGX-listed company and former Board Director of Temasek subsidiary entities, OK brings hands-on boardroom experience grounded in what institutional capital looks for: decision quality under stress, capital discipline across cycles, downside resilience, and credibility when it matters.

This is how capital actually thinks—not how companies hope it does.

Flagship Speaking Topics

  1. Geopolitical & Macroeconomic Risk: Preparing Before Volatility Hits

    How institutional investors assess geopolitical risk before it becomes headline news—and build resilience before tensions escalate.

  2. Board Strategy & Decision-Making That Builds Investor Confidence

    How boards destroy value through well-intended decisions—and how the PRICE framework aligns strategy with what institutional investors actually reward.

  3. Improving Investment Decision Quality at Scale

    The institutional playbook that delivered 180–220 bps outperformance at Temasek: independent review, debiasing, stress-testing and margin of safety.

  4. Transforming Enterprise Risk Management from Compliance to Performance

    Why compliance-driven risk fails when it matters most—and how to redesign risk as a decision-centric system that drives performance.

  5. Investor Relations That Moves Your Share Price

    How to transform investor relations from event management to strategic investability—using the institutional investor's framework for what drives valuation.

Why This Matters

Most boards focus on strategic intent, risk frameworks, and performance targets.

Institutional investors focus on decision quality under stress, capital discipline across cycles, downside resilience, and credibility when it matters.

The gap between these perspectives is where value gets created or destroyed.

OK bridges that gap—from 16 years inside Temasek.
