Deputy Director of Ho Chi Minh City Green Transport Development PMU
URBAN-CIVIL WORKS CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY OF HO CHI MINH CITY (UCCI)
ABOUT ME
I have a strong motivation in transportation because it is the back bone of the society and economy of any country. Coming back home from the US with the degrees from two prestigious schools (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Purdue University), I always hope to contribute as much as possible to improve the safety, mobility and efficiency of our transportation system. That dream drives me to work for Urban-civil Works Construction Investment Management Authority of Ho Chi Minh City where I join a terrific team of Green Transport Project Management Unit to conduct many great transportation projects to transform the traffic behavior, the transportation system, and the city.
