Born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Mia embarked on a journey of self-discovery to the UK at the age of 16 to expand her horizons. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication, Media, and Culture Studies from Oxford, and later earned a Master’s degree in Communication and Media Management. Mia also has a Level 2 ICF-Accredited Executive Coaching Certificate and is pursuing a Doctorate in Social Sciences, researching the power of storytelling in corporate communication.
Upon returning to Vietnam, she had a strong desire to help build a culture of mindfulness in her home country. She yearned to share captivating narratives that had the power to inspire and transform lives.
Mia has over 15 years of extensive experience in the media industry, including content development, corporate communication, branding, and communication management. She has enhanced her leadership skills in various organizations, such as HTV Television, FOX Networks Group, Yeah1, VTVCab, and DatVietVAC. She also ventured into entrepreneurship by running her own media company for over 8 years.
However, she still felt that something was missing – a passion, a sense of fulfillment, or a vision that she couldn’t quite identify.
Until one day, she received an intriguing invitation from a Private Equity firm. This led her to join Mekong Capital, a unique company with an empowering culture and core values that greatly inspired her. Here, she delved deeper into the art of storytelling in corporate communication within the transformational approach that Mekong Capital embraces. This has helped her take the time to reflect on what she really wanted to achieve in life.
And, she discovered her personal vision: to become a master and coach of storytelling for corporate communication, inspiring individuals and corporations to excel through the magic of storytelling.
As Head of Communications at Mekong Capital, she shapes and shares multiple impactful investment stories from the Value Creation team and investee companies, internally and publicly.
She has leveraged the power of communication in all aspects, from corporate branding to culture building and leadership transformation.
Burning with a passion for language, Mia finds joy and fulfillment in her work. She knows that she adds value with every story and message she helps shape and share.
