Some ideas that I think are outside of the wheelhouse of typical Silicon Valley thought leaders:
1) Mike Bloomberg: Talk about founding and tech development of Bloomberg Professional Service (don't talk about politics at all)
2) Judy Faulkner: Founder and CEO of EPIC systems, a large privately held Hospital EHR vendor (Epic is one of the largest and most insular tech companies in the world)
3) Jack Ma: Founder of Alibaba
4) Pierre Omidyar: Founder Ebay
5) Bill Gates and/or Steve Ballmer
6) Mark Cuban
More traditional Silicon Valley:
1) Larry Ellison: CEO of Oracle
2) Marc Benioff: CEO/Founder Salesforce
3) Paul Buccheit: Talk about gmail and early Google R&D product only
4) Matt Cutts: Get him to tell us how SEO really works
5) Scott Cook: Founder Intuit
6) Jeff Bezos: Founder/CEO Amazon
7) Tony Fadell: iPod Designer & CEO of Nest
