About

With over 19 years of experience managing business-critical projects, leading teams, and delivering measurable results, I am confident in my abilities to provide a level of expertise that is hard to come by. I take pride in my capability to comprehend the business landscape and the mindset of traditional trade wholesalers and retailers in Southeast Asia. My record of success in sales and marketing speaks for itself, and I excel at building and maintaining long-lasting relationships with customers. I am passionate about developing and implementing innovative and digital projects, specifically focusing on creating a "machine" that can sell products faster than myself. With my extensive background in: 1. Entrepreneurship 2. New business development 3. Operations management 4. Management consulting 5. Business Analysis 6. E-commerce I am confident that I can achieve that goal. In the short future, I aim to be an expert in Net Zeo and DMDRs (Derivatives Market Disclosure Rules) to lead my fellows to the far end. __________________ "As COO, Duy was primarily responsible for scaling the company and reaching over $100M in sales within the first year.
