About me: Growing up in Hanoi sparked my interest in a question that continues to shape my career: how can Vietnam translate its potential into lasting prosperity? That question led me into strategy consulting at Deloitte’s strategy and business design practice, known as Monitor, after graduating from Foreign Trade University, Vietnam, and Loughborough University, UK, with Distinction.
My work has spanned business model development, market entry and digital transformation, alongside investment appraisal and financial modelling.
These experiences brought me to London Business School with a personal blueprint: ‘Learn. Build. Steward.’ I chose the One-year MBA to deepen my finance expertise, develop as a consulting leader and, ultimately, help connect global capital with opportunities in Vietnam. Seeking to accelerate my existing career path, I was drawn to a format that minimises time away from work and allows me to put new knowledge into practice sooner.
With a foundation in business and management already in place, I valued the opportunity to refresh my thinking on evolving topics such as digital transformation and environmental, social and governance (ESG), while building deeper specialisation through electives. The international community and access to London’s financial and technology sectors strengthened that appeal. I am particularly interested in automotive strategy and how finance, AI and digital innovation can help businesses compete and grow.
As a student ambassador, I look forward to helping prospective students see how their own ambitions could take shape at London Business School. Having approached the MBA as a deliberate next step in an established consulting career, I am keen to share that perspective and hear the different experiences others bring. For me, the value of this community lies as much in the conversations that challenge our thinking as in the aspirations we share.
Three topics I can be approached about: Consulting; South East Asia; Automotive and Mobility Club.
