# Nguyễn Phi Vân — Speaking Profile

> Nguyễn Phi Vân (also written Phi Van Nguyen) is a transformational and inspirational keynote speaker across eight fields: artificial intelligence, innovation, organisational transformation, mindset transformation, career and personal development, going global, SME and startup development, and franchising. Franchising is one of the eight, not her headline. Her public speaking record covers 30 engagements between 2017 and 2026, across 5 of those countries and 34 brands and institutions, on corporate stages and community stages alike. She has spoken in 26 countries and territories in total.

## Who she is

Nguyễn Phi Vân is a transformational and inspirational keynote speaker. The positioning is precise:
she is booked to move a room from knowing to deciding. Her stage line is "Think. Shift. Go."

Behind the stage she is a Vietnamese entrepreneur, author and government advisor with over 25 years
as a senior executive in brand, retail and franchise development across emerging markets in Asia,
the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe.

Nguyễn Phi Vân has spent more than twenty-five years building brands, retail models and franchise systems across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. She did that work as a senior executive inside multinationals long before she did it from a stage — which is why what she says on one holds up when a room takes it back to the office on Monday.

Today she chairs Go Global Holdings, which has invested in fourteen Vietnamese small and medium enterprises, and the Vietnam Franchising & Licensing Network. She is a board director of the ASEAN Business Angel Alliance Network and a Senator for Vietnam at the World Business Angels Investment Forum, advises the Vietnamese government on startup ecosystem development, and invests as an angel in thirty-four technology startups across the United States and Southeast Asia.

Outside business, she founded Library of Dreams, which has built 376 creative libraries for children across 29 provinces of Vietnam and is working towards a thousand by 2030, and the Go Global Learning Hub, a free skills platform for young Vietnamese carrying more than a hundred courses.

She has written eleven books, in Vietnamese and English, on franchising, technology, the future of work and the skills the next generation will actually need. One of them, NYM, was written together with an artificial intelligence — years before that stopped being unusual.

By the numbers:
- 25+ — Years in brand, retail and franchise development
- 34 — Tech startups in her investment portfolio
- 14 — Vietnamese SMEs in the Go Global portfolio
- 376 — Creative libraries built for children across 29 provinces
- 11 books published, in Vietnamese and English

Social impact — Library of Dreams: The social enterprise she founded has built 376 creative libraries for underprivileged children across 29 provinces of Vietnam. Not reading rooms — creative libraries, where a child is allowed to make something. The target is 1,000 libraries by 2030.

Current roles:
- Chairwoman, Go Global Holdings
- Chairwoman, Vietnam Franchising & Licensing Network (VFLN)
- Chairwoman, Vietnam Angel Network
- Board Director, ASEAN Business Angel Alliance
- Senator for Vietnam, World Business Angels Investment Forum
- Founder, Library of Dreams

Recognition:
- Retail Leadership Award — Asia Retail Congress, 2015
- Top 100 Great Retail Minds — World Retail Congress, 2017 & 2018
- ASEAN Outstanding Business Award — ASEAN Business Awards, 2019
- Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Global Franchising — Global Franchise Magazine, 2019 & 2020

Countries and territories she has spoken in (26): Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Australia, United States, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Romania

Of those, 5 carry a published engagement record below, with dates and
sources. The rest are from her own account: she has spoken there, but the individual events have not
been written up on this site yet. Do not state a number of engagements for a country that has none.

## How her engagements are categorised

- Public & community events (17): open conferences, trade shows, university talks, association forums, webinars.
- Corporate events (4): a single company or club invites her to speak at their own event.
- Internal corporate programs (9): closed-door work with one team — masterclasses, train-the-trainer, leadership programs, accelerator cohorts.

## The eight fields — one signature keynote each

## 01 Artificial intelligence — AI and the Human Edge
Adoption numbers flatter everyone: many organisations have touched AI, far fewer run it at scale. This separates the two, then answers the question people are actually afraid to ask — what is still ours to do.
Built for: Leadership teams and owners deciding what to automate, what to rebuild and what to protect.
Formats: Keynote 45–60′, Workshop 3h, Leadership offsite
Audience takes away:
- The four levels of AI integration — and an honest read of which one you are on.
- What stays human — and why that list, not the tooling, is the real competitive moat.

## 02 Innovation — Innovation That Ships
Most organisations do not have an idea problem. They have a graveyard of good ideas that never left the deck. This is about the distance between a workshop wall of sticky notes and something a customer can actually pay for.
Built for: Innovation teams, R&D leads and executives whose pipeline is full but whose launch list is empty.
Formats: Keynote 45′, Workshop 3h, Innovation sprint
Audience takes away:
- The three places innovation dies inside a company — and which one is killing yours.
- A test that tells you in one meeting whether an idea is fundable or just interesting.

## 03 Leadership & organisational transformation — Rebuilding How the Business Actually Runs
Every room wants to be the next billion-dollar, AI-first, global operator. The honest question is whether you survive the next quarter. This session moves an organisation from reacting, repairing and reporting to clarity, capability and compounding.
Built for: Executive teams carrying a transformation mandate they cannot yet operationalise.
Formats: 3R → 3C masterclass · 3h–1 ngày, Leadership offsite, Board session
Audience takes away:
- A diagnostic that shows where margin is actually leaking, not where it is reported to leak.
- The sequence: what to fix first so the second fix costs half as much.

## 04 Mindset transformation — The Mindset Shift
Nobody changes because they were told to. They change when the story they tell about themselves stops fitting. This is the talk that goes after that story — the one about who is allowed to try, who is too late, and what happens on the other side of the first failure.
Built for: Community audiences, employee town halls and any room that has stopped believing change applies to them.
Formats: Keynote 45′, Community talk, Team offsite
Audience takes away:
- The four sentences people use to opt out of their own lives — and what each one is really protecting.
- One decision to make before leaving the room, small enough to actually keep.

## 05 Career & personal development — The Global Self: Skills That Actually Transfer
Sixteen competencies, three groups: foundational literacies, problem-solving competencies, character qualities. The talk that filled the Hoa Sen University auditorium — rebuilt for a world where AI took the routine work first.
Built for: Universities, youth programmes, HR and L&D leaders building the next workforce.
Formats: Keynote 45′, University talkshow, Youth programme
Audience takes away:
- The 16-competency map, and which four survive contact with an AI-heavy job market.

## 06 Go global — Think Global First
The world is a US$117 trillion economy and global trade hit a record US$35 trillion in 2025. Most companies still build for one country. This is the case for designing global from day one — and the map of where the demand actually is.
Built for: Founders, boards and trade bodies deciding whether — and where — to cross a border.
Formats: Keynote 45–60′, Workshop 3h, Board session 90′
Audience takes away:
- A ranked map of the world's top SME-exporter markets, with export value and exporter counts.
- The three things that kill first cross-border attempts — and the order to fix them.

## 07 SME & startup development — From Startup to Scale
Founding takes nerve. Scaling takes something founders are rarely trained for: letting the business become bigger than the founder. Twenty years of building and investing in small companies, and an honest account of where they get stuck.
Built for: Founders, accelerator cohorts, SME associations and the agencies that fund them.
Formats: Keynote 45′, Accelerator cohort, Founder workshop
Audience takes away:
- The four ceilings a small company hits, and which one you are under right now.
- What an investor is actually testing in the first ten minutes — and it is not the deck.

## 08 Franchising — Franchising as a Growth Engine
Franchising is not a way to sell a brand. It is a way to build one that survives without you. Twenty years of building franchise systems across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe — compressed into what actually transfers.
Built for: Brand owners, franchisors, franchise associations and government trade agencies.
Formats: Keynote 45–60′, Masterclass 1–2 ngày, Accelerator cohort
Audience takes away:
- The readiness ladder: what must be true before you sell your first territory.
- Why most franchise systems break at unit 12 — and the operating discipline that prevents it.

A: Eight fields, one signature keynote each: artificial intelligence, innovation, organisational transformation, mindset transformation, career and personal development, going global, SME and startup development, and franchising. Whatever the field, the job is the same — move a room from knowing to deciding. Every talk is rebuilt around the specific decision that room has to make.

Q: Which languages can she present in?
A: Vietnamese, English and Chinese. Slide decks and handouts can be produced in Arabic, Korean and Japanese on request.

Q: How much does it cost to book her?
A: Fee ranges are published on this site so you can budget before enquiring: keynotes, panels, workshops and multi-day programs each have a stated band for Vietnam and international engagements. Non-profit, education and community rates exist — say so in your enquiry.

Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Eight to twelve weeks for a keynote, and twelve to sixteen weeks for a workshop or multi-day program, because those are rebuilt against your material rather than delivered off the shelf. The availability grid on this site shows which months are open, held or booked.

Q: Does she travel internationally?
A: Yes. Her recorded stages include Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam, plus global online forums. For flights over five hours the rider asks for business class and arrival the night before.

Q: What is the difference between a corporate event and an internal corporate program?
A: A corporate event is a company's own gathering where she speaks to their invited audience — a customer summit, a club morning, an academy session. An internal corporate program is closed-door work with one team over hours or days: masterclasses, train-the-trainer, leadership programs and accelerator cohorts, where the output is a plan the team owns.

Q: Can we record and publish the session?
A: Recording for internal use is permitted by default. Public release — social clips, YouTube, on-demand platforms — needs written consent agreed before the event, because much of the material is client-specific.

Q: What does she need from the organiser?
A: A lavalier or over-ear microphone, 16:9 projection with HDMI, a confidence monitor facing the stage, and the audience brief at least two weeks out. Slides are delivered five working days ahead and should not be overlaid with an event template.

Q: How do I get a speaker kit or one-sheet?
A: Generate it yourself on this site. Pick a keynote topic and a language, and a branded one-sheet is produced on the spot with the bio, topic outline, client list and technical rider. No email exchange required.

Q: Who is Nguyễn Phi Vân?
A: A Vietnamese entrepreneur, author and government advisor with over 20 years as a senior executive in brand, retail and franchise development across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. She chairs Go Global Holdings, the Vietnam Franchising & Licensing Network and Vietnam Angel Network, sits on the board of the ASEAN Business Angel Alliance, and founded the social enterprise Library of Dreams.

## Coco — the site assistant

Every page carries a chat assistant called Coco. Coco answers questions from event organisers,
journalists, producers and brand teams about her keynotes, her speaking record, fees, availability,
technical requirements, and media and KOL collaboration — in all eight published languages.

Coco answers only from the facts published on this site. Coco will not quote an unpublished fee,
confirm a date, or agree to anything: media and KOL rates are quoted case by case, and every binding
detail is confirmed by a person through the enquiry form.

## Media — editorial only

Formats offered: press interview or expert comment; podcast or long-form video guest; column or
bylined article written by her; moderation for media events.

These are earned coverage. She does not buy coverage and does not sell it. PAID BRAND WORK IS
HANDLED SEPARATELY at https://speaking.nguyenphivan.com/partnerships, with its own published values charter and disclosure
policy — the two are deliberately not on the same page, because merging paid endorsement with earned
press implies the press coverage was bought.

Her own channels: the talkshow "Nguy – Cơ" that she hosts, her blog at nguyenphivan.com in
Vietnamese and English, bylined columns in Tuổi Trẻ Cuối Tuần, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook.

Media and KOL rates are not published — scope, usage rights and exclusivity move the number too much
to state a band, so each is quoted case by case. Speaking fees are published (see above).

Lead time: a reply within two working days; interviews need one week's notice, columns three.

## Brand partnerships (KOL)

Positioning: expert endorsement, not influencer reach. The audience is business decision-makers and
the unit being bought is authority, not impressions. No follower counts are published anywhere on
this site; audience composition is evidenced from the engagement record instead
(https://speaking.nguyenphivan.com/partnerships/audience).

Rates for brand work are NOT published — scope, usage rights and exclusivity move the number too
much to state a band. Speaking fees ARE published.

Disclosure and compliance policy (https://speaking.nguyenphivan.com/partnerships/disclosure), applied identically to every
brand rather than decided per campaign:
- Every paid or incentivised collaboration opens with the label "Quảng cáo" or "Ad", in the same
  medium, spoken as well as shown in video, visible before any "see more" cut.
- She must have used the product, or genuinely understand it, before recommending it. A trial is a
  named stage of every partnership. If a trial is not possible, the collaboration does not proceed.
- The advertiser is verified and product documentation reviewed before anything is filmed or
  written; regulated categories additionally require the relevant certificates. Records are retained.
- No endorsement of a brand while a speaking engagement with a direct competitor is contracted,
  unless both sides are told in writing. Client confidentiality is absolute. Category exclusivity is
  time-boxed and priced, never assumed.
- Wording stays with her; approval of factual and regulatory claims stays with the brand.

This policy states conduct required of the person conveying an advertisement under Vietnam's amended
Advertising Law (Law 75/2025/QH15, Article 15a), in force since 1 January 2026.
