My path

Cargill is the first and the only company I have been working for. I joined Cargill in August 1996 as a Salesman and got promoted to be Sales Supervisor after 2 years. In 2001, I became Sales Manager for the South Vietnam market. To pursue the company’s strategy of growing the North market where Cargill was not strong at that time, I was asked to move to the North as Branch Manager in November 2008. Now I am Commercial Director of the Animal Feed & Nutrition business. With Cargill, I have a  successful career in over the past 21 years.

My advice

Key success factors are learning, people development, collaboration and good execution of business plans. As a worldwide company with many great talents and professional management, we have a great opportunity to learn from the best practices of other Business Units and locations. Besides, we can only grow business if we have right talented people in the right positions around us. Across-function collaboration and support from every people are also very important. Last but not least, people's cabability to execute plans is the key of the game and makes people different.
