Fwd: Personnel Announcement on Ms. Thu anh

[Kien Pham]

Hello Classmates and Friends:

Below is news about someone you know.

TA was the open secret behind our successful trip.  She also was the one selecting the two college model who led your blind friend in his handsome áo dài during the fashion show dinner.  Let me assure you that I did not promote her because of that apparently good-looking choice. :-)

Enjoy, kp

Dear All:

This is to share the good news with you that Ms. Thu anh of my support team has been named Chief of Staff (COS), effective March 1st, 2026.

As you know, TA has been working in our Red Square Vietnam office for more than a decade.  She has proven to be a valuable member of the core team.  In recent years, she became my executive assistant, handling my complex schedule and travel.  She has gone much beyond her duties, the latest extra mile by her was her excellent leading role to help 30 of my Stanford classmates in a group tour for 17 days around Vietnam.  She handled everything from financial accounting for the trip to the menu for each meal.  It was a masterful performance.

Now, in her new COS role, TA will oversee all matters related to my professional, philanthropic and personal activities.  When needed, she can and will speak on my behalf.  I trust TA 100% and I know I can rely on her dedication and attention to details.

Please consider TA as your friend and work with her to get things done properly.  Her email address and phone number remain the same.

In the working world, it is rare to have a female COS.  But Donald Trump became wise and named a female as the White House COS, so I guess I just copy what Donald Trump does! :-)

You can send your congratulation to TA today.

Best, kp
