Vietnamese female CEOs listed among top global business leaders

The achievements of Vietnamese women “steering” large corporations have been recognized internationally. Nguyen Thi Bich Van In early 2021, on its Facebook page, IBM Vietnam for the first time announced the appointment of a female Vietnamese CEO to replace a foreign CEO who had been working for IBM for 25 years. The woman, Pham Thu Diep, is the first IBM’s ‘female general’ in the company's 25 years of operation in the Vietnamese market. It is now more common to see women managing large corporations in Vietnam such as Mai Kieu Lien, CEO of Vinamilk; Nguyen Thi Nga, president of BRG; Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, CEO of Vietjet; and Le Thi Thu Thuy of VinFast are some of the names. However, becoming a CEO of a foreign invested technology firm is still rare in Vietnam. Before taking the office as CEO of a technology firm, Diep was a high ranking manager with 23 years of experience in the IT field. Starting her career at TRG International, she later held posts at Exact, which provides ERP service and cloud software to clients specializing in accountancy. Diep joined IBM in early 2011 and has had many leadership positions since then. In 2017, a Vietnamese woman became the highest ranking leader of Unilever Vietnam, a foreign invested enterprise specializing in personal and family care products and food. The first Vietnamese female president of the leading company in the FMCG sector is Nguyen Thi Bich Van, who has had a strong attachment to the company for the last 24 years. Le Diep Kieu Trang is another well known name among businesswomen. She worked as CEO of Facebook and Go-Viet before choosing a new way to go. The ‘golden girl’ with respectable achievements during school has had leadership positions at the world’s largest groups in Vietnam. The brilliant achievements gained by VietJet Air, the air carrier with the largest market share, in the last decade bear the hallmark of CEO Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao. Last year Vietjet was one of only a …

Lecturer the youngest female associate professor at 34

Nguyễn Thị Thanh Hà has been named the youngest female associate professor of 2020 in Việt Nam. — Photo courtesy of Hanoi University of Science and Technology. HÀ NỘI — Nguyễn Thị Thanh Hà, a lecturer at the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, was named the youngest female associate professor of 2020 in Việt Nam. Hà received the title at the age of 34 in early December last year by the State Council for Professorship. “I spent a lot of time preparing the application and I was thrilled to receive the results. What surprised me most was the title of the youngest female associate professor of the year,” she said. “This made me very happy and honoured.” Hà was raised in a family with a tradition of teaching in northern Hoà Bình Province and often stood outside the classroom watching her mother teaching students after school. During her years at school, Hà showed promise in maths and considered studying economics or banking, which could have led to a high-income job. However, Hà decided to follow her dream and entered the University of Education under Hà Nội National University. “My mother burst out with happiness. I had never seen her so joyful like that,” Hà said. She graduated from the university and decided to continue studying for a master’s degree while working as a lecturer at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. In more than 10 years of research, Hà has had 28 scientific articles published, of which 16 are in prestigious international journals such as Materials Chemistry and Physics, European Physical Journal, and Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids. Hà said her career path was very smooth because she got support from many talented and dedicated teachers. She recalled the day of her thesis defence when she was extremely nervous and got a bad feeling, so she called home to ask if her mother, who had fallen ill recently, was okay. When she was informed that her mother had passed away, she immediately …

COVID-19 crisis could set-back a generation of women in business

Dropping seven places since 2019, Viet Nam comes in at #25 while Thailand, Philippines and Indone sia are amongst the top 20 economies globally offering the most supportive entrepreneurial conditions for women.— Infographic by Mastercard Women across the world have been disproportionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – a staggering 87 per cent of women business owners say they have been adversely affected, according to Mastercard’s report of the Women Entrepreneurs Index 2020. Overrepresentation in sectors hardest hit by the economic downturn (such as tourism, retail and F&B), the pronounced digital gender gap in an increasingly virtual world, and the mounting pressures of childcare responsibilities are only a few factors that have left women particularly vulnerable, particularly in economies such as Viet Nam, South Korea and Thailand. MIWE 2020’s top performing economy is a prime example of gender-specific support mechanisms having swift and significant results. For the first time, Israel tops the MIWE as best economy for women entrepreneurs worldwide, advancing from 4th place in 2019. With an ambition to double the number of female entrepreneurs within two years, Israel’s success has been driven by a focused institutional backing for SMEs – its ‘Support for SMEs’ ranking catapulted from 42nd place in 2019, to 1st in 2020. Last year’s strong performers, the United States and New Zealand – although dropping from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 4th places respectively – demonstrate that economies with mature gender focused initiatives still out-perform on the global stage through continued focus on advancing conditions for women in business. In both these economies, favourable cultural perceptions of entrepreneurism, the high visibility of female leaders that serve as role models for aspiring entrepreneurs and supportive entrepreneurial conditions play a crucial role in their success. It is noteworthy that the majority of economies (34 out of a total of 58 …
