About Pham Nhat Vuong
Pham Nhat Vuong studied in Russia and started a popular instant noodle business in the Ukraine in the 1990s before moving back.
Today he chairs Vingroup, Vietnam's largest conglomerates with interests in real estate, retail and healthcare among others.
The group's main units include electric vehicle maker VinFast, property developer Vinhomes and hotel chain Vinpearl.
In August 2023 he took VinFast public through a SPAC listing on Nasdaq, which made him one of Asia's richest. The company is building a factory in North Carolina to make electric SUVs.
Charging station operator V-Green was spun off from VinFast in March 2024, and is investing more than $400 million over the next two years to build charging infrastructure across the country.
