Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
MK Palmore is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as cybersecurity, crisis management, leadership, diversity and inclusion. He is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where he gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and education.
MK Palmore is hired to speak at events and conferences where he can give expertise on important global business affairs. He has worked his whole life to help his country. Since MLK was born in the nation’s capital, in the shadow of our monuments and the living history of the United States, it may not be surprising that he chose a career in service early in his life. When he was growing up in Washington, D.C., it was known as the “murder capital” of the United States, so the odds were against him being successful. The odds were against him even living. MK was born into a divorced family. His mother, a strong African-American woman, raised him and his two older brothers. Every day, she taught him the importance of taking care of his responsibilities, which he still follows.
MK decided in elementary school to go to the United States Naval Academy. During his senior year of high school, he only applied to two colleges: the United States Naval Academy and West Point. He worked hard all through high school to reach this goal, which was hard to do in a very competitive environment. He was accepted to both schools. MK chose to go to the Naval Academy, where he did well in his military studies.
After leading the Brigade of Midshipmen for four years, MK was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. MK got even better at being a leader in the USMC. Leadership was the most important thing he learned in college. This period was the basis for MK’s first book, Leadership for Young People. In this book, the idea of following certain leadership traits was effectively reinforced.
After serving with honor in the USMC, MK went to work for the U.S. Federal Government as a Special Agent for the well-known Federal Bureau of Investigation. During his 22 years with the FBI, MK looked into Hate Crimes, Domestic and International Terrorism, Violent Crimes, Public Corruption, Crisis Management and Response (FBI SWAT Certified), and Cybersecurity. MK was in charge of the FBI’s Cybersecurity Investigative Branch as an executive and leader in the San Francisco Division.
During his last year of service, MK was in charge of one of the largest cybersecurity investigation teams in the country. He learned a lot about the most sneaky criminals and national security threats in the cyber world. Because he had access, exposure, and experiences no one else had, MK developed a unique point of view and philosophy on cybersecurity issues. He has talked about the subject in hundreds of places, both in the United States and worldwide.
MK is now Palo Alto Networks’ Field Chief Security Officer (CSO) for the Americas. Palo Alto Networks is a global cybersecurity company with its headquarters in Silicon Valley, and it is widely known as a leader in its field. In addition to his work at Palo Alto Networks, MK is often a part-time professor of Leadership, Technology Implementation in Business, and Crisis Management and Response.
