Statement of Interest/Vision
I have joined my new role in Vietnam in early 2021 and AmCham Vietnam as AmCham Board of Governors. I am honored to show my interest in continuing as a board member of the organization in 2022.
Act as an executive leader in one of the most prominent investors in Vietnam’s F&B industry with more than one billion US dollar investment representing together a bottling partner in the three main cities. We have a long-term commitment, investing in the country by many projects, including a greenfield project in the South of Vietnam. Also, we provide support to Government and the community through various critical sustainable programs.
I believe that AmCham Vietnam is one of the most influential, strategic, and dynamic business associations in Vietnam that drives innovation, sustainable growth and helps other members and committees succeed, making AmCham Vietnam a partner that the industry wants to join.
Finally, my vision is to make AmCham Vietnam the critical partner of the Vietnam Government to serve as the voice of American business and partner with other associations and stakeholders to support members to cross over the challenge during the economic recovery through the proactive advocacies, as well drive a firm handshake across committees to bring in fruitful events to all AmCham Vietnam members.
