From Boat Refugee to Tech CEO: He Risked Everything to Win

In Conversation with David Ly

In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, we sit down with David Ly, refugee turned President & CEO of Iveda, a global AI and surveillance tech company.

From escaping Vietnam on a boat at age 3 to launching cloud video surveillance in 2005 (before anyone believed in the cloud), David shares his raw, inspiring journey.

He opens up about building a company with no brand, no funding, and why relationships mattered more than tech. You’ll also hear his biggest lesson after 20 years as a founder, and the mindset shift that changed everything.
