Kay Malcolm / Speaking

Bring me to your stage.

I’m an Oracle VP, a keynote speaker and an Oracle TV host. My day runs on AI agents that I built (so when I demo something on stage, it’s the real thing). One day, AI is going to be as normal as the phone in your pocket, and I translate what it means for the people in your room right now, while it’s still new enough to feel scary. Tell me about your room and I’ll get back to you within 2 business days.

Talks

Each one gets shaped around your audience.

Signature keynote

I Was Scared of AI Too

Yes, me. I’ve been through the kind of scared that sends you out a side door, and it taught me what to do with fear. When AI came along and I felt it all over again, I did the same thing: I learned it. Your people can too, and there’s a place for them when they do.

Your people leave less scared, with one real problem they want to solve with AI and a simple way to start (I call it PLACE).

“Kay’s keynote was a highlight for our attendees. She made AI feel approachable and actionable, and the energy in the room shifted tangibly from apprehensive to empowered after her talk. I’d recommend her to any organization looking for a speaker who will bring both a wealth of knowledge and a true connection with the audience.”
Allie Joy, Executive Director, Baddies in Tech

For leaders and teams

Manage AI Like You Manage People

The people who get the most out of AI tend to be good managers. They give clear asks and real context, and they check the work. Your leaders already have this skill (they just haven’t pointed it at AI yet).

Your managers already know how to brief a new hire. Turns out it’s the same move with AI, and they try it on real work before Friday.

Agentic AI Beyond the Demo

My day runs on eight agents I built, so I can tell you where the boardroom plan falls apart (spoiler: it’s rarely the model).

Next time a vendor shows your leaders a shiny agent demo, they’ll know what to ask before anybody signs a check.

My AI Staff, Live

Eight AI agents run my inbox, calendar, leads and content. I put their real logs on screen and walk your audience through what they did this morning, and what still needs me.

You’ll see the spots where my agents still need me (there are a few), and people walk out knowing which piece of their own week to hand off first.

When Your Customers Are AI Agents

A quarter of the traffic on Oracle LiveLabs now comes from AI agents. Here’s what changed when we rebuilt it for them, and what your site, docs and product need before it happens to you.

Your product and web teams leave with a checklist so AI agents can find and use what you’ve built, the same fixes we had to make on LiveLabs.

The Unglamorous Part of AI That Decides Who Wins

Every AI strategy I see lives or dies on the data underneath it. I run AI Database enablement for Oracle globally, and I’ll show your executives what to fix first, in plain English.

Executives walk away knowing which data problem to fix first. (Hint: it matters way more than which model you pick.)

Building at Scale Inside Large Organizations

I built Oracle LiveLabs from scratch to 50 million views, then rebuilt it so AI agents now drive a quarter of the traffic.

Your teams get the playbook I used to take LiveLabs from nothing to 50 million views inside a very big company (politics included).

For professionals, ERGs and summits

Women Navigating the AI Era

Most of the women I talk to already know enough AI to start. What they’re waiting on is permission, and this talk hands it over.

Every woman in that room leaves with one AI habit she starts that week. And permission. Mostly the permission.

Becoming the AI Person at Work

Once AI is as normal as email, nobody gets credit for knowing it. The reputation gets made now, and you don’t need to be an engineer to earn it. Here’s how to build it on purpose, starting with the work already on your desk.

Everyone leaves with one small AI win they can show off at work (the kind that gets your name said the next time AI comes up in a meeting).

Past the Prompt: Getting Real Work Out of AI

Most people stop at asking AI questions. I show your audience what comes next, giving it real context and handing it whole projects, so it saves hours a week.

People leave knowing how to hand AI a whole project with the context it needs. The hours come back that same week, I promise.

For students

The AI Head Start

You don’t remember learning your phone, and you’ll barely remember learning AI either (except that part is happening right now, during your degree). What I wish someone had told me at 20: how to use AI the way people inside big tech companies do, so you walk into your first job knowing what most new hires don’t.

Students leave using AI like the people already doing the jobs they want, with one project ready for the resume before graduation.

How I work

I take keynotes of 30 minutes or more, and panels where I get real airtime. A shorter slot can work when it comes with something more, like a workshop, a fireside chat, or a media block.

Tell me the length and how the session runs, and I can tell you quickly whether it’s a fit.

Every inquiry comes straight to me. I reply within 2 business days.
