I hope that one day, when I look back on my journey, what I am most proud of is that I have contributed to building a business that is not only successful but also has the value of changing the image of the whole country. I envision a Vietnam known for modern architectural works, bustling commercial centers designed, created and built by XHOME. I aspire to leave behind an organization that is long-lasting, stable over time and becomes a global business model. A business that will continue to develop with core values:

• Human: is forever the solid foundation of the business. We always focus on training and developing employees to become professional individuals, perfect in capacity and behavioral culture.
• Corporate culture: We always aim for a sustainable working environment based on 9 cultural values ​​that are committed and practiced every day.
• Product and service quality: We constantly strive to make each product and service a testament to our dedication, bringing trust and joy to customers when they experience it.
• Innovation and creativity: Always pioneering in applying technology and scientific advances to constantly improve and bring new values.

I believe that with this foundation, XHOME SAIGON in particular and the XHOME system in general, will not only be a business, but a heritage - a symbol of Vietnam's rise, modernization and creativity.

A QUICK INTRODUCTION ABOUT ME

College and first jobs were in the construction industry

Starting in 2001, I started studying Bridge and Road Engineering at Hanoi University of Transport. In 2006, I graduated and worked in Hanoi. Companies such as Tasco Construction Company and No. 10 Construction & Investment Company became the first destinations in my career. There, I experienced roles such as Site engineer and CAD Operator, giving me practical knowledge of construction works.

Between 2008 and 2011, I worked at Langdon & Seah Vietnam in Hanoi as a Quantity Surveyor. This was an important step in my career development, as I had the opportunity to work with a team of experts and participate in large-scale construction projects.

However, my thirst for new experiences and exploration led me to Singapore from 2011 to 2014. Here, I went through a challenging and successful journey. Initially, I continued my work as a Quantity Surveyor at Langdon & Seah Singapore Pte. Ltd. Over time, I was recruited by Gamuda Land, a leading property development group in Malaysia, as a Senior Quantity Surveyor. This was an opportunity that I could not pass up, as I had the opportunity to work with one of Asia’s leading companies in the field of engineering, construction and infrastructure.

In 2014, I returned to Langdon & Seah Group in Singapore (later renamed Arcadis Consultancy Pte Ltd Singapore) as a Senior Quantity Surveyor. This is an international group with extensive operations across the globe, involved in many iconic projects. This marked a significant step in my career, as I had the opportunity to participate in complex and strategic projects.

Through a diverse career in large global corporations, I have accumulated valuable time and significant experience. From direct involvement in large-scale projects, I have developed project management, leadership skills and the ability to work in a multinational environment. I have learned from the best in the industry and explored the latest trends in construction and project management.

Currently, as CEO of XHOME SAIGON that I am leading, I always appreciate the steps in my career and the opportunities that have helped me gain a deep, practical understanding in the field of construction and project management. I am committed to bringing my knowledge and experience to bring XHOME and the field of interior architecture in our country to new heights.

My Journey to Find My Way

I entered the business world during what many people call “challenging times.” It was not simply a career, but a journey of searching – a never-ending search for the true meaning of work, for the value I could bring to life and the people around me.

First Steps

Entering the business world, I bring with me confidence from my accumulated knowledge and experience:

  • Civil engineer graduate
  • Completed Master of Business Administration
  • 06 years working at large foreign corporations in Vietnam
  • 04 years of experience in Singapore with large-scale projects

However, the reality of business opens up many challenges and there are times when everything seems so difficult that I have to stop. Each obstacle and failure does not discourage me. On the contrary, they are valuable opportunities for me to look back and understand more clearly about myself and the path I have chosen. It is thanks to those failures that I have honed and shaped the unique values ​​for the company, creating my own mark in the interior design and construction industry.

Setting a milestone for XHOME Saigon

Since its inception, XHOME Vietnam has been known as X'HOME. Up to now, 2024, XHOME has a representative office in Singapore and a branch system spanning 22 cities. We are proud to be the largest interior design and construction brand in Vietnam. In which, XHOME Saigon is a typical branch of the system, since its establishment, it has been operating for 8 years, maintaining 100 completed and handed over projects annually in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.

To have a XHOME Saigon today, going from a small office to a leading representative branch in the XHOME system. I remember clearly July 28, 07 with the opening ceremony. XHOME Saigon, our office is in a small townhouse on Tran Nao Street, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City with less than 10 employees. 

I have never forgotten one of my teammates who have built XHOME Saigon together from its early days until now – CEO XHOME Vietnam Mr. Tuan Dung. Up to now, we have overcome many storms and difficulties to have a XHOME Saigon with more than 100 quality staff at the office (Architects, Engineers, Designers, QS,...) not including the construction team and a wide network of partners...

A proud journey to build and design challenging and intellectual works. Up to now, I am confident in the team's ability. XHOME Saigon can take on any project of any size. And right here on this website, the team XHOME Saigon Marketing Team (I directly advise on professional content) will bring readers typical works and quality information that we want to send to the community.

Be Humble and Never Stop Learning

Despite my successes, I always remind myself to stay humble. Living in a competitive design industry, I never stop learning from the people around me, from my colleagues, from my partners, and especially from my own customers.

This spirit not only helps me continue to improve but also helps me maintain my passion for work, not letting success make me complacent but still keeping an open mind to welcome new things.

Building Value Beyond Profit

I not only aspire to create beautiful interior products but also aim to build sustainable values ​​for customers. For me, each project is not only a business contract but also a mission. We want to turn houses into living spaces with a strong artistic mark and evoke warmth and happiness for each family.

I always hope that when customers experience our services, they will feel secure and comfortable. To achieve that, the core factor lies in the company's human resources, when each person finds meaning and joy in their work, and feels the value of giving satisfaction and joy to customers.

I believe that a successful company is not only measured by revenue and profit but also by the positive values ​​that the company brings to the community and society.

Philosophy “A Life Well Lived – A Life Worth Living”

For me, true success is not about numbers or fame, but about living up to the values ​​that have been with me since my first steps. I believe that as long as the flame of passion and dedication is still burning, I will continue to commit and contribute. This journey will not stop, no matter how many challenges come my way.

I consider challenges as a special flavor of life - experiences that everyone should have so that when looking back, we can be proud that we have bravely lived our lives to the fullest and have lived a life worth living, without regrets, with all the sweetness and bitterness of life.

I choose to SHARE to help the next generations

In recent years, in addition to contributing on the economic front, I want to create more value for the younger generations. The young people are the next generation that will contribute to making Vietnam rich and beautiful. Therefore, more than anyone else, I understand that the experience of those who have gone before is extremely important. Therefore, I often appear at universities with Architecture and Interior Design majors such as Hutech University and Forestry University to talk to young people about the path they will have to overcome to conquer success. Here is an article from Hutech about this event: Students of the Faculty of Architecture and Fine Arts attend the talk show "Start-up" with experts Interested readers can access.

I believe XHOME Saigon will become stronger in the near future, will conquer further goals and more impressive milestones.

This is a video of me appearing at the University of Forestry in Dong Nai province with the talk show BUILDING THE ROAD TO SUCCESS. The event took place on June 11.06.2022, XNUMX with many values ​​I want to convey to the students of the school. 

Commitment and Vision

When I think about the future, I hope that one day, when I look back on the journey I have taken, the thing that makes me most proud is that I have contributed to building a business that is not only successful but also has the value of changing the image of the whole country. I envision a Vietnam known for modern architectural works, bustling commercial centers designed, created and built by XHOME.

I aspire to leave behind an organization that will stand the test of time and become a global business model. A business that will continue to thrive with core values:

  • Human: is always the solid foundation of the business. We always focus on training and developing employees to become professional individuals, perfect in capacity and behavioral culture.
  • Hai Long's cultural values: We always aim for a sustainable working environment based on 9 cultural values ​​that are committed and practiced every day.
  • Product and service quality: We constantly strive to make each product and each service a testament to our dedication, bringing trust and joy to customers when they experience it.
  • Innovation and creativity: Always pioneer in applying technology and scientific advances to continuously improve and bring new values.

I believe that with this foundation, XHOME SAIGON in particular and the XHOME system in general, will not only be a business, but a heritage - a symbol of Vietnam's rise, modernization and creativity.
