No. You need the simple past. Steve Jobs gave many speeches in his career. Besides, your terminology is wrong. Both the present perfect and the past perfect contain a past participle.

have (has, have, had) = the auxiliary for perfect tenses
given

Please do not double post. I believe there is a total of 5 posts in the system on this sentence, most of which I managed to delete. And you have used more than one name as well, which you should not do. Stick to one name.
