VinFast Auto Ltd. held its annual general meeting of shareholders on June 27, making some key changes to its board of directors. During this meeting, VinFast announced the resignation of Pham Nguyen Anh Thu from her position as a member of the board.
Concurrently, the company appointed Nguyen Thi Lan Anh as a new member of the board of directors. With these changes, the VinFast board now comprises six members: Pham Nhat Vuong, Le Thi Thu Thuy, Ling Chung Yee Roy, Tham Chee Soon, Nguyen Thi Van Trinh, and Nguyen Thi Lan Anh.
Earlier this year, when Pham Nhat Vuong took on the role of CEO of VinFast, Lan Anh was appointed as the company’s new CFO, replacing David Mansfield.
Nguyen Thi Lan Anh holds a bachelor’s degree in corporate finance from the Academy of Finance, which she obtained in 2008. She continued her studies at the same institution and earned a master’s degree in economics and finance three years later.
Lan Anh is also a certified ACCA and CPA Australia charter holder, two of the most prestigious certifications in the fields of finance and accounting.
In terms of work experience, after obtaining her bachelor’s degree in 2008, Lan Anh worked for six years at Nexia ACPA, a leading audit and consulting firm.
From 2014 to 2019, she joined Heineken, where she held roles in business control and tax management for Heineken Hanoi.
Following her time at Heineken, she took on the role of Deputy General Director at Nexia STT, overseeing outsourced accounting services and business consulting.
In November 2020, Lan Anh began her journey with Vingroup, starting as the CFO of VinSmart. In October 2021, she became the CFO of VinES, and by March 2023, she was promoted to Deputy General Director, a position she held until the end of the year.
Additionally, since late 2022, when VinES and Gotion broke ground on their LFP battery cell factory in Vung Ang Economic Zone (Ha Tinh province), Lan Anh has also served as the chairman of this project.
