The new chair succeeded Ramachandran A.S. (RamC), Citi country officer for Citibank in Vietnam.

Lan graduated from several prestigious universities in Vietnam and abroad during the 1990-2016 period, including Hanoi Medical University, the National Economics University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, and the University of Cambridge in the UK.

Her academic achievements, ranging from bachelor’s degrees to a doctorate, reflect her relentless commitment to learning and personal growth, AmCham Vietnam, one of the largest foreign business associations in the country with 3,150 members, said in a press release on Thursday.

AmCham Vietnam highlighted her participation in numerous significant healthcare projects and programs, and her contributions to policy development that enhances patient access to advanced treatments at various organizations, including the Ministry of Health.

Since joining MSD Vietnam in 2016, she has been responsible for government affairs and policy, market access, and communications.

MSD (Merck Sharp & Dohme), a global biopharmaceutical giant with a 130-year history, is headquartered in the U.S. It is also known as Merck & Co. in the U.S. and Canada.

Lan has served on AmCham Vietnam’s board of governors for four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025.

Speaking about her new role, she said, “taking on the role of chair is not only a profound honor but also a tremendous responsibility.”

For the 2025 term, AmCham Vietnam also elected James Meffen, chief financial officer of AES Vietnam, and Philip Ziter, senior associate at Russin & Vecchi, as vice chairs.

Jesse Boone, director of Facilities and Campus Development at Fulbright University Vietnam, was appointed treasurer, while Le Thi Thanh, senior attorney at Baker & McKenzie, will serve as secretary.
