Mr. Pham Hong Hai
Mr. Pham Hong Hai is a prominent and influential figure in Vietnam’s financial and banking sector, with nearly three decades of experience.
He entered the banking industry immediately after graduation. After nearly 19 years of close association with the company and holding many significant positions, thanks to his outstanding capabilities, he became the first and only Vietnamese to hold a senior leadership position at the largest foreign bank in Vietnam to date. During his five-year tenure, Mr. Hai led the organization to achieve many significant milestones with remarkable growth in scale and profit, consistently receiving prestigious international awards.
Sharing his decision to join OCB as the highest-ranking leader of the Executive Board, Mr. Hai said that OCB is one of the rare domestic commercial joint-stock (TMCP) banks that has successfully built a reputation for safety and efficient operation, and above all, transparency. This is what led him to decide to join OCB. He expressed his hope that in his new position and with his new responsibilities, drawing on his previous experience, he will help create differential value, enabling OCB to achieve its set objectives, while always prioritizing the interests of the bank and providing customers with the best possible financial products and services.
As Vietnam’s leading private bank, to further promote the implementation of strategic plans and enhance the bank’s management capacity in the current phase, OCB’s Board of Directors planned to add more key personnel to the Executive Board.
“After a long search, Mr. Hai was the best candidate selected for this crucial position. I am confident that with his experience, achievements, and reputation, Mr. Hai will continue to demonstrate his leadership, create new momentum, and make significant contributions to the bank’s upcoming development journey,” said Mr. Trinh Van Tuan, Chairman of OCB’s Board of Directors, during the key personnel appointment ceremony for the Executive Board.
On the same day, the OCB Board of Directors approved Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tung’s resignation from the position of General Director. In the time ahead, Mr. Tung will continue to accompany the bank as a Member of the Board of Directors, focusing on developing and implementing a sustainable development strategy, promoting digital transformation, and expanding the network of major partners.
