About

I am the Founder and CEO of Aves, starting again from zero.Aves is a Vietnamese green technology company, founded in September 2026, built around three focus areas: green mobility, renewable energy, and smart devices. We design and manufacture electric bicycles, motorbikes and three wheelers, alongside renewable energy solutions and smart technology. Our mission is to prove that Vietnamese talent can create products of high intellectual and technological value, not only for the domestic market but reaching across the region.Before Aves, I spent more than three years building GSM (Green SM / Xanh SM) into Southeast Asia's largest all electric mobility platform and the world's first all electric ride hailing service. Together with the team, we grew it from a single idea to roughly 250,000 employees and partners serving close to 100 million customers across seven countries. Green SM is now one of Vietnam's leading tech unicorns, expected to reach a valuation of around US$20 billion with a planned IPO in Hong Kong.Recognized on Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia and Tatler Gen.T Under 40.
