Background:

After 4 years of studying abroad and graduating with a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Sydney (Australia), Ms. Dang Thi Thanh Van spent the first time in the country working at a research institute of VNPT Group of Posts and Telecommunications, a software company in a joint venture with Denmark. Still, she decided to start a business of her own with her vast IT knowledge and skills.

At that time, Ms. Thanh Van always had a belief that there was a way for Vietnamese information technology (IT) engineers to provide quality services to meet rigorous global demands in 2009. She and her friends founded a technology company called Savvycom – the convergence of Vietnam’s leading IT strategists and experts.

Over 12 years since its establishment, up to now, Savvycom has achieved many successes: Top 30 global mobile application companies (voted by the US); it is the only Vietnamese enterprise that can participate in the Apple Consultants Network (Apple’s consulting network) – including independent technology service providers specializing in Apple solutions for businesses in South East Asia. For many consecutive years, Savvycom was honored as one of the top 30 technology companies in Vietnam.
