COUNTRY BRIEFS

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
"Mr. Tri was extremely helpful in giving a high-level overview and detailed explanation on a few concerns, during the visit of our Board Members in Vietnam. His experience in dealing with both, Asian and Western business cultures, makes him eclectic and facilitates the comprehension of both perspectives. His reading of the Vietnamese market from Macro to Micro economy, business culture, market opportunities, and networking, accelerates the way of doing business and being successful in Vietnam." Yoon Young Kim, Country President Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Schneider Electric

Knowing and not knowing Mr. Tri makes a huge difference in doing things right the first time, leapfrogging competitors, and avoiding/mitigating risks while set-up the right structure to be successful in Vietnam." 

GERMAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION (GBA)
"At the end of 2019, we reviewed the numerous business and networking events we organized as the German Business Association in Vietnam.  If we have a "Best Guest Speaker Award", Tri Pham would be chosen as the winner this year!

In his talk, Tri was outspoken and convincing with ease but always evidentiary and analytic.  He opened his treasure trove filled with his lifelong experience and expertise in an international environment but never gave up his Vietnamese background and identity.  Tri stayed authentic." Thomas N. Debelic, Chairman, German Business Association

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY (GWU) - MBA Executive Program, Washington DC, USA
“I have been taking MBA students from George Washington University to visit Viet Nam since 2007. Depending on his schedule, Tri would either have us gather in his office or would come to our opening dinner to give us his perspectives on the Vietnamese business culture, economic development, industry growth, and last but not least trendy restaurants. His insights are impactful and cannot be found in any textbook. It is valuable to see Tri at the beginning of our trip because Tri would give our students pointers to obverse the way Vietnamese companies do business for the rest of our trip. Our MBA students quipped "A 23-hour flight from DC to see Mr. Tri to talk about emerging markets is worth it."  Dr. Nam Pham, Professor of Finance, School of Business, GWU

I discounted the importance of cultural mindset when working in a foreign country and Tri spoke on that extensively.” From Student
