VinFast and GSM have announced new leadership appointments, effective immediately, as part of a strategic move to transition senior responsibilities to a younger generation of leaders within the Vingroup ecosystem. Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong, founder and chairman of Vingroup, is stepping down as CEO of VinFast Global, while Ms. Pham Thu Huong is relinquishing her role as Chairman of GSM Global.
Mr. Pham Nhat Quan Anh, who has served as Chairman of VinFast Global since May 2026, will now concurrently assume the position of CEO of VinFast Global, succeeding Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong. He will also take on the roles of Chairman and CEO of VinFast Vietnam, giving him ultimate and comprehensive responsibility for all of VinFast's operations. Born in 1993, Mr. Pham Nhat Quan Anh holds a Bachelor's degree from Singapore Management University and has held key leadership positions at VinFast and other Vingroup companies. In addition to his new responsibilities, he will continue as CEO of VinMetal Trading and Production JSC.
At GSM, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tuan, currently CEO of GSM Global, has been appointed Chairman of GSM Global, succeeding Ms. Pham Thu Huong. Mr. Pham Nhat Minh Hoang, born in 2000, will succeed Mr. Tuan as CEO of GSM Global and concurrently serve as CEO of GSM Vietnam. Mr. Pham Nhat Minh Hoang has held senior leadership positions at VinFast, Green Future, VinSmart Future, and GSM, and is a major shareholder in several Vingroup ecosystem companies.
The leadership changes come as VinFast and GSM enter a period of strong and decisive growth on a global scale. VinFast currently operates in 16 countries, including Vietnam, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Europe, the Middle East, and North America, with manufacturing facilities in Vietnam, Indonesia, and India. GSM, which operates the Green SM electric taxi brand, is present in seven countries and plans to expand into at least three additional markets this year. GSM is also targeting a transition into a globally scaled public company with shares listed on an international stock exchange.
Mr. Pham Nhat Quan Anh expressed his commitment to upholding VinFast's core values and delivering world-class products and services. The appointments are seen as critical for addressing the demanding requirements of the companies' next phase of development and reflect positive expectations for their continued international expansion. This transition underscores Vingroup's focus on developing in-house talent and ensuring continuity as its subsidiaries scale globally.
