Featured story

A friend introduced Thien Pham - Data Manager at Cho Tot to me. My first impression was like talking with a brother. He’s kind, modest, and full of energy when sharing his journey. From a non-tech background to a Data Manager, it was not smooth, of course. But in the end, he made it!

Thien graduated with Finance and Credit major in 2012. Still, he did not feel suitable for the slow and heavy corporate environment, so he decided to find his own way and left the university degree behind. One time, he even trolled the Board of Directors in the bank’s interview. Guess what? They just asked him if he is nepotism 😂. After many challenges, he now lands in the data industry, which matches his love and strength.

Read the story with his experience building a hybrid decentralized data model, and creating a data-driven culture in EN version - VI version.
