Statement of Interest
AmCham Vietnam serves as a crucial bridge between the governments of Vietnam and the U.S., and the business community, offering a platform for dialogue, policy influence, and business networking. Well recognized by the Vietnamese government at both central and provincial levels, AmCham Vietnam is a significant stakeholder in policy discussions.
Since joining AmCham Vietnam activities in 1999 with Ford Vietnam until now, I have dedicated myself to enhancing AmCham Vietnam’s operational efficiency and intensifying its advocacy efforts with the Vietnamese government, particularly in key industries. With nearly 30 years of professional experience across diverse sectors such as legal, automobile, tech-banking, pharmaceuticals, etc., I continue to bring a comprehensive understanding of these industries and their regulatory landscapes to contribute to the activities of AmCham Vietnam.
As a Governor, I would aim to develop strategic initiatives that further AmCham’s mission of fostering U.S.-Vietnam business relations and driving meaningful policy influence, ensuring continued growth and support for its members.
