Silicon Valley-trained entrepreneur Moses Lo will headline two Dayton School of Business events on Oct. 5, sharing lessons from building a billion-dollar fintech company and leading across global markets.
Asbury University’s Dayton School of Business will welcome global fintech and unicorn entrepreneur Moses Lo to Kentucky on Oct. 5 for two events focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and global leadership.
The day will begin with a T.W. Lewis-sponsored business leaders event from noon to 2 p.m. in downtown Lexington, bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs and members of the regional business community for a conversation with Lo on building at scale, innovation and global growth.
At 6 p.m., Lo will speak at a student seminar in the Kinlaw Library Board Room at Asbury University. The evening event, “Silicon Valley, Faith & Building at Scale,” will be open to students and the public and will explore entrepreneurship, ambition, leadership and the intersection of Christian faith and the marketplace.
Our mission at the Dayton School of Business is to form leaders of character, conviction and faith who are equipped for the world they are being called to lead.”
“Bringing globally recognized leaders like Moses to Kentucky gives our students and business community a front-row seat to where technology, entrepreneurship and the global economy are heading, while challenging us to think deeply about leadership in a rapidly changing world.”
Lo is the Founder and CEO of Xendit, one of Southeast Asia’s leading financial technology companies. After studying at the University of California, Berkeley, and participating in Y Combinator, he co-founded Xendit and helped scale the company to unicorn status, surpassing a $1 billion valuation. Xendit has raised approximately $538 million from investors including Tiger Global, Coatue, Insight Partners, Accel, Kleiner Perkins and Y Combinator. Before founding Xendit, Lo worked with Boston Consulting Group and Amazon.
Lo’s visit will give both students and Kentucky business leaders a firsthand look at entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership at global scale, drawing on his experience building one of Southeast Asia’s leading technology companies.
Lo has earned recognition on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Asia list for Finance and Venture Capital, Prestige 40 Under 40, Tatler Asia’s Gen.T Leaders of Tomorrow and Tatler Asia’s Most Influential. CNBC also recognized Xendit on its Upstart 100 list of promising startups.
His work building Xendit has attracted attention beyond the technology industry. Harvard Business Review has featured Lo’s journey pioneering financial technology in Southeast Asia, and Harvard Business School has developed a case study focused on Xendit.
While Lo brings extensive experience in technology, venture capital and global business, his evening campus conversation will also explore the convictions behind his leadership. Students and members of the public will hear his perspective on maintaining Christian faith while pursuing innovation, managing rapid growth and leading an organization across cultures and markets.
The events continue the Dayton School of Business’ emphasis on connecting students and the wider business community with accomplished global business leaders and bringing global perspectives and real-world experience to Kentucky.
