Techcombank appoints new CEO

The Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint-stock Bank, or Techcombank, appointed Nguyen Le Quoc Anh, its former deputy chief executive officer, as its new chief executive officer on September 23, 2016.

Anh joined Techcombank in May 2015 as head of strategy and corporate development. In early 2016, he was appointed deputy general director, before he officially became the current chief executive officer.

During his time with the bank, Nguyen Le Quoc Anh has contributed to some of Techcombank's outstanding achievements in business, human resource development and brand name enhancement.

As of August 31, 2016, Techcombank had reached VND2,836 billion (US$91.43 million) in profit before tax, some 80 per cent of the bank's 2016 revenue target, fully controlled expenses and improved operation with cost to income ratio at 32.34 per cent in the first eight months of 2016, according to Techcombank's official press release announcement. Other goals of human resource development, corporate culture construction and work environment improvement also witnessed positive growth.

Anh is an expert in strategic thinking, project management, business analyses and reliable business model planning, as well as business strategy, marketing and systematic technological system construction.

Prior to joining Techcombank, Anh held senior positions in large organisations in the United States, such as T-Mobile US, Wells Fargo Bank, Nissan USA and Fortress Investment Group, as well as McKinsey & Co., Argonne National Laboratory, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., and other international organisations.
