VinFast has appointed Pham Nhat Quan Anh as chairman of the company’s board of directors, placing the son of founder Pham Nhat Vuong in one of the most influential positions at the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker as it faces growing competition and mounting pressure to deliver on its global ambitions.
The appointment took effect May 23, replacing Le Thi Thu Thuy, who will continue serving as vice chairwoman of Vingroup, VinFast’s parent company and largest shareholder. VinFast said the leadership change is intended to support the company’s next phase of development as it expands its presence in international markets.
At 33, Quan Anh is one of the younger executives to assume such a senior role at a major automaker. He is not a newcomer to the business, however. Since joining VinFast in 2019, he has held leadership positions across vehicle development, manufacturing, planning, quality control, global sales, marketing, and after-sales operations.
