Phuong Nguyen, Country Business Development Manager & Human Resource Partner, Dow Chemical LLC

Phong Luc, Associate, Baker & Mckenzie

Board Liaison

Hang Nguyen, Partner, Baker McKenzie

I have been an active member of AmCham since 2006 and has represented AmCham as well as the broader business community at numerous expert working groups, seminars and conferences. In 2013, I was nominated to become the Chair of AmCham HR/Labor Committee, and has held Chair, Co-Chair and Board liaison for the Committee ever since. In my capacity as Chair/Co-Chair, I have revived the HR Committee to become one of the most active committees within AmCham in organizing networking and knowledge sharing events for members as well as in advocacy engagement, especially in the areas of labor legislation and HR issues. I have been deeply involved in policy discussions on labor and employment issues arising during the negotiation of the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, frequently act as an adviser to Government agencies and industry stakeholders on Vietnam employment and labor law.

I was elected to the Board of Governors in 2017, and was a member of the Executive Committee-plus, being in charge of Committees and advocacy. In 2021, I was appointed as AmCham representative at the Advisory Council for Administrative Procedures Reform (ACAPR). I have been an active Governor, and contributed to drive advocacy activities of the Chapter. I serve as the member of the Advocacy Panel and review and approve all position papers on behalf of the Board.

I received my legal, diplomacy and executive business management education in both Vietnam and the U.S. I am one of the few lawyers dually admitted to practice law in New York State and Vietnam, and during my almost 15 – year tenure at Baker McKenzie, I have worked at our firm’s offices in Vietnam, Spain and the UK. This diverse and well-grounded cultural and professional background gives me a unique capability to understand both US and Vietnamese sides as well as to transcend the divide between foreign/international and Vietnamese cultures and business groups. I believe that I will bring in unique and valuable perspectives and contribution to the ExCom and the Board.
