With 7 years of experience as an Account Executive and Customer Success Manager at Databricks and Salesforce, I've developed a deep appreciation for empathy, resilience, and strategic thinking. These roles have also honed my ability to influence without authority and lead major enterprise opportunities. Now, as a Senior Business Manager at Microsoft Asia, I leverage my experiences to manage executive stakeholders and drive impactful strategic initiatives across the region. This role allows me to integrate my strategic thinking with hands-on project management, making a tangible impact on our business operations.Growing up in Vietnam taught me that hard work and grit can take you anywhere. Being part of a global, multicultural family has instilled in me the belief in the impact of a growth mindset and stepping out of one’s comfort zone.My passions for traveling, improv comedy, dancing, and yoga keep me grounded and continually push me to grow. Traveling excites me with exposure to diverse histories and cultures, fueling my curiosity and open-mindedness about people. Improv has taught me the value of "yes, and"—embracing the unknown and adapting swiftly to unexpected situations. This mindset has been invaluable in my career journey, enabling me to navigate ambiguity and embrace failure as a learning opportunity.Always eager for insightful conversations over coffee, or even better, a round of improv jam!
