Hang Nguyen

Hang Nguyen has been an active member of AmCham since 2006 and has represented AmCham as well as the broader business community at numerous expert working groups, seminars, and conferences. In 2013, she was nominated to become the Chair of AmCham HR/Labor Committee and has held Chair, Co-Chair, and Board liaison for the Committee ever since. In her capacity as Chair/Co-Chair, she revived the HR Committee to become one of the most active committees within AmCham in organizing networking and knowledge sharing events for members as well as in advocacy engagement, especially in the areas of labor legislation and HR issues. She has been deeply involved in policy discussions on labor and employment issues arising during the negotiation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, and frequently acts as an adviser to Government agencies and industry stakeholders on Vietnam employment and labor law.

She was elected to the Board of Governors in 2017, and was a member of the Executive Committee-plus, being in charge of Committees and advocacy. In 2021, she was appointed as AmCham representative at the Advisory Council for Administrative Procedures Reform (ACAPR). She has been an active Governor and contributed to driving advocacy activities of the Chapter. She serves as a member of the Advocacy Panel and reviews and approves all position papers on behalf of the Board.

She received her legal, diplomacy, and executive business management education in both Vietnam and the U.S. she is one of the few lawyers dually admitted to practice law in New York State and Vietnam, and during her almost 15 – year tenure at Baker McKenzie, she has worked at their firm’s offices in Vietnam, Spain, and the UK. This diverse and well-grounded cultural and professional background gives her a unique capability to understand both US and Vietnamese sides as well as to transcend the divide between foreign/international and Vietnamese cultures and business groups. She believes that she will bring in unique and valuable perspectives and contributions to the ExCom and the Board.
