Kenneth Wilcox served as the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank from 2001 to 2011. He reflects on 30 years of service to SVB and its customers, as well as the stunning collapse of the institution in March 2023. Wilcox shares his findings from his new book, “The China Business Conundrum: Ensure That "Win-Win" Doesn't Mean Western Companies Lose Twice,” in which he describes in detail how the Chinese wing of Silicon Valley Bank (“Shanghai SVB”) was serially hampered and eventually taken over by Chinese bankers acting in concert with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Recorded on February 11, 2025.
