Keith Krach
Keith Krach is a Silicon Valley innovator and dedicated public servant. He founded and led several category-creating companies—including Ariba, the world’s largest B2B e-commerce network; and DocuSign, inventors of digital transaction management. He served as Chairman of Purdue University, and Grand Consul of Sigma Chi Fraternity.
As Under Secretary of State, Krach built the Clean Network Alliance to defeat the CCP’s plan to control 5G; led the largest onshoring in US history; was the highest-ranking US official to visit Taiwan in 41 years; drove divestment in CCP companies behind China's military buildup; and mobilized action against CCP genocide in Xinjiang. As a result of these initiatives, Krach was sanctioned by the CCP, and nominated for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.
Today, he is chairman of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, a bipartisan institute devoted to applying trust principles to safeguard freedom and democracy around the world.
