# Who is Lê Quốc Khôi? Story, roles and philosophy Lê Quốc Khôi founded KDIGI and is CEO of Ferry VN in Cần Thơ. My story, a dated journey, six roles, how I work and answers to common questions. I am Lê Quốc Khôi, founder of KDIGI and CEO of Ferry VN, working in Cần Thơ. This page is what I have done, how I think about work, and how to get in touch. ## What I do My roles, ordered by how much time I give them. - Founder — KDIGI, since 05/2022 - Founder and CEO — Ferry VN, since 08/2025 - Former COO (Nov 2023 – Aug 2026) and CTO (Feb 2023 – Oct 2023) of Nụ Cười Mê Kông; shareholder — Nụ Cười Mê Kông, since 11/2023, until 08/2026 - Visiting lecturer and mentor, EXE (Startup Experience) course — Đại học FPT Cần Thơ, since 10/2023 - Advisor on business management and digital transformation - Stock and crypto investor ## My story I studied information security at FPT University Cần Thơ. Coming from security, I learned to treat permissions, backups and updates as part of how a system is designed, not as work bolted on at the end of a project. On 26/05/2022, in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, I founded KDIGI in Cần Thơ to help Vietnamese businesses adapt to doing business online. From the start KDIGI chose to grow slowly and steadily, with the quality of the service as the measure. I am now CEO of Ferry VN Joint Stock Company. Ferry VN's system began as the internal software of a tour operator in Cần Thơ, written to handle the daily work with many ferry operators. In 08/2025 the team spun it out into an independent company. KDIGI runs on OKR and values listening, sharing and cooperation. I write and talk about company culture, OKR and performance management, and I record what I actually apply. - Education: Information security alum, FPT University Cần Thơ - KDIGI: Founder, 26/05/2022 - Ferry VN: CEO and legal representative - Facebook: facebook.com/lekhoi456 - LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lekhoi456 ## How I work I sum up my thinking in one sentence: “Rooted firm and reaching high, daring to think and do, wisdom, compassion, creativity in service.” The five ideas below explain it. - Rooted firm — I start from identity and origins, because only when you know where you stand can you reach high and stay steady. - Think from first principles — Faced with a hard problem, I take it apart to its core and rebuild from the foundation, rather than accepting inherited assumptions. - Simplify how we operate — I work with five moves: simplify, standardise, automate, digitalise and optimise. - Keep learning — I see learning as a chain that turns data into information, information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom. - Integrity and service — I build relationships on integrity, fairness and ethics, and tie business goals to value for the community.
