FORBES 30 UNDER 30 ASIA HONOREE JOINS VIFC-HCMC TECHNOLOGY TEAM

On October 5, 2026, the Viet Nam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC) officially welcomed Mr. Bui Duc Anh as Deputy Head of the Technology Division to help develop the technology, data, and innovation ecosystem. He previously served as Investment Director at KBTG under Kasikornbank (Thailand), where he managed AI and cybersecurity portfolios across Southeast Asia and the US. He was also recognized by Forbes in the 30 Under 30 Asia list for Finance & Venture Capital in 2026.

Sharing his thoughts on this move, Mr. Duc Anh noted that in tech investing, people are the key factor in turning ideas into reality, and VIFC-HCMC is where talent and technology come together to create long-term value. Welcoming experienced professionals who meet global standards is a strategic step for the Center to build out its operational infrastructure and attract more international financial institutions and investors.

Alongside its executive team, the Center continues to strengthen its governance through a Strategic Advisory Group of 13 senior experts and leaders who previously worked at major financial centers such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Astana. Combining high-level strategic advice with an experienced operational team helps Ho Chi Minh City steadily improve its competitive position on the global financial map.

Bringing top experts on board is part of VIFC-HCMC’s strategy to develop four core product pillars: financial technology, investment funds and asset management, the international bond market, and commodity derivatives. A deep understanding of finance, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence will provide strong support for the Center to run safely and transparently in line with global best practices.
