Xavier Justo

Xavier Justo exposed one of the largest financial frauds in history, the 1MDB scandal that implicated Malaysian officials and led to billions in recovered assets. As a former director at PetroSaudi, he obtained evidence of the fraud and went public despite personal risk, spending 18 months in a Thai prison before his pardon.

His testimony contributed to investigations across multiple countries and the conviction of key figures. Justos keynotes cover ethics in finance, the personal cost of whistleblowing, and building cultures where wrongdoing cannot hide.

He speaks from direct experience about what it takes to do the right thing when systems are designed to prevent it.
