Information about the Entrepreneur
Kettivit Sittisoontornwong, Founder and CEO of LEO Global Logistics Public Company Limited (LEO), had a very clear determination and goal in life. Since he was in secondary school, he was determined to reach his goal of running his own business when he grew up. Though his grades in the secondary school were excellent and entitled him to study in the Sciences and Mathematics Program, he chose to study in the Art-Mathematics program. He believed that it would give him a good foundation in English and enable him to study at a very prominent business college, the Assumption Business Administration College (ABAC).

40 years ago, ABAC was the only Business College in Thailand that used English as the language medium in teaching. Mr. Kettivit believed that to be successful in business, he must be able to communicate fluently in English which has proved correct over the years. After his graduation, he successfully paved the way in his career until he founded his own company when he was 27 years old. From an SME Logistics Service Provider company in 1991, today, LEO is a publicly listed company with a market capitalization of almost TBH 2,000 million with over 400 staff. The company is considered one of the leading and most highly respected logistics companies in Thailand.

Other Interesting Facts about the Entrepreneur
Mr. Kettivit’s foundation of success began with his parent’s teaching during his childhood. His parents always told him to be a diligent, honest & persevering person with humble and respectful manners.

Mr. Kettivit also embraces the “Build to Last Organization” concept in his company. He wants to have faith and trust in his employees and thus, develops and grooms his people so that they can improve and even become better than him. He supports and encourages his staff to have regular training or extracurricular study, and even gives scholarships to students in universities in order to be his staff in the future.
