Madame Thuy Le, CEO, VinFast: From Startup to America At Lightspeed


Listen Later

Meet VinFast, Vietnam's young, bold and relentless EV champion. In late December, 2022, Madame Thuy Le, VinFast CEO, supervised operations at the port in Haiphong as the first 999 VinFast VF 8s were loaded aboard a ship to San Francisco. This month, American customers started taking delivery of the all-electric crossovers. The speed with which 5-year old VinFast started exporting cars to America is unprecedented. Remember that Japanese and Korean automakers worked for decades before gathering the resources and the courage to put their products to the test with American consumers. How did VinFast get ready so quickly? And how does the little-known company plan to win the trust of American car buyers? In this episode, CEO Thuy Le walks us through the pivotal early days of VinFast. We also discover how she carves aside time for a special hobby that requires 4:30am wakeups.
