France Hoang

From Vietnamese refugee to West Point graduate and White House lawyer, France Hoang now leads BoodleBox as Founder and CEO, pioneering AI-enabled learning solutions that enhance rather than replace human expertise in higher education and workforce readiness. Under his leadership, BoodleBox has become a fast growing collaborative platform for lifelong learning and work with AI, serving 70,000 users and selected as the authorized AI infrastructure for 100 colleges and universities representing 900,000 faculty and students. Fresh off a $5M seed round and backed by partnerships with Microsoft Elevate and NVIDIA Inception, Hoang brings a rare combination of perspectives to scaling educational technology: Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at West Point, former university trustee, and proven entrepreneur having scaled companies to over $600M in combined sales. His approach addresses three critical challenges facing education leaders—ensuring equitable AI access for all students, empowering educators with control and transparency for AI-native classrooms, and providing institutions with secure, private AI infrastructure they can trust. BoodleBox's rapid institutional adoption reflects strong market validation for a platform that reduces token usage by up to 96%, delivering both cost efficiency and environmental sustainability. By partnering with educators to reimagine learning environments, Hoang positions institutions to amplify human potential and prepare learners and workers who will shape—not simply adapt to—an AI-enabled world.
