In this episode of C-Suite conversation on Mind Your Business, we unravel the remarkable journey of a Vietnamese migrant who forged his path from early struggles in Germany to attaining a prominent position in a tech giant in the ASEAN region.

From overcoming language and cultural barriers to earning a PhD in Munich, we explore his narrative that transcends corporate leadership, as well as his passion for running, culinary skills, and the pivotal role the company plays as more than just an employer.

Dr. Thai Lai Pham, President & CEO of Siemens ASEAN, an avid reader, shares one of the recent books he read about leadership, which named Singapore's founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew as one of the greatest leaders.
