PwC Vietnam appoints new general director

PwC Vietnam has announced Mai Viet Hung Tran as its next general director, effective on July 1, to succeed Dinh Thi Quynh Van, who has been in the position for 12 years.

Tran is currently the assurance leader for PwC Vietnam, a role he has played since 2019.

He has over 26 years of experience in auditing, accounting and management in the sectors of construction, real estate, manufacturing, services, hospitality and retail, the company said Thursday.

His core expertise lies in the areas of assurance, international financial reporting standards, and Vietnamese accounting standards. Under his leadership, the assurance practice has grown significantly and built up a portfolio of audit clients including many local companies and multinational corporations.

“I now look forward to handing the reins over to Tran who I know will only accelerate the great momentum we have built,” said outgoing general director Dinh Thi Quynh Van.

Van will continue as the firm’s markets leader and take on the role of chairperson for PwC Vietnam. She will drive market strategy in a number of strategically important areas, including environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG), digital transformation, and value creation capabilities.

Tran is a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) Australia member, and a member of the Vietnam Association of Certified Public Accountants (VACPA). He holds a doctorate degree in business administration from EU Business School, an MBA degree from Henley Business School (the UK), and a bachelor’s degree in accounting and finance from the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City.

PwC is an international professional services corporation and is one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, along with Deloitte, EY, and KPMG.
