Managing Partner, Vertex Ventures

About

Kee Lock Chua learned to read people and assess situations by watching his immigrant entrepreneur father conduct business meetings as a child, a skill he now considers core to his investing approach rather than something learned from textbooks. As Group President/CEO of Vertex Holdings, he personally led the firm's transformation from a single-LP vehicle managing $200M to a federated global network of seven independent partnerships after being brought in to restart what was effectively a hibernating platform in 2008.
