Business Development Account Manager

I am a business development and partnerships professional with experience building ecosystems at the intersection of Web3, technology, and education. Currently at VBI Academy, I help leading Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain protocols expand into Vietnam through strategic partnerships, localized campaigns, and developer engagement programs. My role bridges global ecosystems with the fast-growing Vietnamese market, ensuring partners gain traction and developers receive meaningful opportunities to learn, build, and grow.

Over the past year, I have led high-impact campaigns for clients such as Movement Labs, Saga Protocol, Lisk Foundation, Ancient8, and Avail Network. From designing and executing multi-week developer bootcamps to organizing large-scale hackathons and demo days, I’ve supported the onboarding of hundreds of developers, secured six-figure grant commitments, and helped emerging teams showcase their projects on global stages. I thrive in roles that require cross-functional coordination, balancing client goals, technical training, community engagement, and operations to deliver measurable outcomes.

Before entering Web3, I honed my organizational and client-oriented skills in hospitality with Marriott International, managing recruitment, training logistics, and university partnerships. 

Across industries, my career has been defined by building relationships, creating learning experiences, and delivering programs that empower people to reach their potential.
