ASEAN SENPAI of the Month [Volume 99]
For today’s edition, our dear Naoto Phan lends us his voice for this new edition of “Voice of Asean Senpai “ !
Starting his voyage in 2009 at the esteemed Foreign Trade University located in Hanoi, Vietnam, his trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary. A pivotal year came in 2013 when he joined AIESEC's Global Internship Program in Japan, gaining a global perspective. Returning to Vietnam in 2014, he plunged into the workforce for over a year.
2015 saw him back in Japan, securing a master's degree in public policy. This paved the way for a role in management accounting at a Japanese firm in 2017. Stepping onto the global stage once more, he joined the Swedish automotive industry in 2020, even becoming a US CPA.
By early 2023, he transitioned to a senior consultant post at a major audit firm. Yet, his dedication to community development and his fervent belief in Japan's potential remain unwavering. He strives to bolster entrepreneurial opportunities for foreign residents, a cause close to his heart.
In his words, "I have faith in Japan's future... I actively work towards contributing to foreigner’s professional and entrepreneurial success"
