On October 9, 2025, FLG Partners gathered Silicon Valley’s finest for an unforgettable evening at Sens Restaurant in San Francisco. Clients, CEOs, board members, venture capitalists, private equity investors, various financial service providers and colleagues joined us to celebrate leadership, inspiration, and success under this year’s theme: Inspire. Lead. Win.

The highlight of the evening was a fireside chat with Keena Turner, four-time Super Bowl Champion and current Vice President and Senior Advisor to the General Manager of the San Francisco 49ers, interviewed by FLG Managing Partner Jennifer Cho.

An Evening of Inspiration

From the moment guests arrived, the energy in the room reflected the spirit of the evening’s theme. After a warm welcome from Jennifer, the conversation with Keena offered insights into what it truly takes to build winning teams, on and off the field.

Keena shared stories from his early days in Chicago, his standout collegiate career at Purdue, and his decade-long run with the legendary 49ers dynasty of the 1980s. His reflections on leadership, perseverance, and teamwork resonated deeply with an audience of business and financial leaders who understand that championship culture is built through vision, collaboration, and consistency.

As Jennifer noted during the conversation, “Keena embodies what it means to lead with integrity and inspire through example.” The discussion touched on lessons learned under coaching legend Bill Walsh, how to cultivate a winning mindset amid challenges, and the evolving dynamics of leadership in sports and business alike.

A Champion’s Perspective

When asked what drove the 49ers’ dominance during the 1980s, Keena emphasized alignment of purpose and trust within the team, a lesson just as relevant in today’s boardrooms as it was on the field. He also reflected on his ongoing role with the 49ers organization, mentoring players and helping shape the next generation of leaders in professional sports. His recurring message was clear: success comes not just from talent, but from discipline, humility, and the ability to lift others around you.

Celebrating Together

Following the fireside chat, attendees enjoyed time to connect, network, and celebrate the year’s accomplishments. Guests were treated to raffle prizes—including autographed footballs, 49ers jersey, and hats — plus the opportunity to meet Keena, pose for photos, and catch an up close glimpse of his four Super Bowl rings up close.

As always, the evening was a reminder of what makes FLG Partners and its community exceptional: a shared commitment to excellence, leadership, and collaboration.
