Born in 1974, Trung holds a master's degree in financial economics from Australia's New South Wales University. He was appointed by the Ministry of Finance as a member of the board of directors and deputy general director of the HCMC bourse (HoSE) in August 2017.

Previously, Trung worked at the State Bank of Vietnam (1996-1997), State Securities Commission (1997-2004), and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) (2004-2017).
