Since December 2010, Mr. Pham had been appointed as CEO of Petro Vietnam Transportation Corporation (PV Trans). During that period, PV Trans had confronted many obstacles such as high capital expenditures, shipping crisis, parent company’s loss, employee lay-off, which led to risk of bankruptcy or being merged. Upon joining the Company, Mr. Pham initiated a comprehensive restructuring program. He had also decided to improve the governance, manage risks of corporate finance, retain talented employees, expand the market, optimize manufacturing activities, reduce and save costs, and to provide professional training for crew members and staffs.

As a result of Mr. Pham’s drastic solutions, PV Trans had become a well-known and professional company. After two years of thorough restructuring, PV Trans had overcome the severe crisis, built up a solid foundation for sustainable development and begun to generate stable revenues and profit since 2012. Till to date, PV Trans has transformed from a transporter with 01 crude oil tanker and around 100 employees into a leading liquid transporter with 09 subsidiaries, 02 branches, 2 affiliates, 23 vessels and over 1,650 employees.

Under Mr. Pham’s leadership, PV Trans’s equity has successfully doubled its business and increased its profits more than thirteen times within his eight-year tenure. Furthermore, the Company’s financial targets have become more transparent and are geared towards sustainability.

Apart from focusing on business activities, Mr. Pham also takes account of the welfare of his employees by creating a safe working environment for them and ensuring they receive stable income. In addition, Mr. Pham had organized a number of social events, ideological education and competitions for his employees to foster unity, innovation and cooperation among them in the company and to support them to achieve their targets.

Mr. Pham also believes that active participation in charity activities and contribution to the community are an essential mission of PV Trans towards the society. Hence, the Company had effectively aided social events such as building charity house, local clinic house, houses for Vietnamese heroic Mother; made donations to Truong Sa islands; supported coast guards in protecting maritime sovereignty; and awarded scholarships for impoverished students.
