Company Achievements & Role as Entrepreneur
What Mr. Benjamin appreciates the most when looking back on his 17-year journey with VSIP Group is that he always had the chance to do something different, create something completely from scratch, and bring added value to the company he works for and the people he works with.
His first mission started in Southern Vietnam with the re-branding of the Group’s customer service. He left when the customer satisfaction rating hit a new high milestone and remained stable.
His next task was setting up VSIP Quang Ngai–the very first expansion project of VSIP Group into Vietnam’s Central market in 2012. The project was at first regarded as infeasible due to its location in the middle of nowhere with daunting challenges in terms of manpower and material resources. However, Mr. Benjamin managed to achieve the expansion goals.
His entrepreneurial journey continued in Northern Vietnam in 2014 when the Group’s portfolio in the North faced tough challenges and competition that needed comprehensive innovation and transformation. It is Mr. Benjamin Lam’s opinion that growing successful projects from scratch brings a sense of fulfillment and belonging at work.
Becoming the first and so far, the only Singaporean in the whole VSIP Group working in three regions of Vietnam is another thing that Mr. Benjamin Lam is proud of in his career. A thorough understanding of local culture with a wide range of networks lays the solid foundation for his current position.
Vision, Mission, & Future Plans
Mr. Benjamin Lam intends to continue to persevere, following his dreams. His word of advice to other aspiring entrepreneurs is to not be afraid of failure, because this time you are not starting from scratch but from experience.
