22.01.2024
In a bid to spread joy and contribute to a meaningful Tet for children in the highlands, on January 20, 2024, Hanoi Telecom, in collaboration with the Green Sail Fund, organized the “Pack Love – Cultivate Happiness” workshop at Hoa Lac, attracting the participation of hundreds of people.
Beyond providing an experience in making traditional cakes, the workshop also transformed into a vibrant countryside fair, fostering community bonds and leaving beautiful impressions on everyone. The event organizer, Wisteria, alongside Hanoi Telecom, created a space for packing chung cakes akin to an artistic festival. Each cake was delicately handled, from selecting banana leaves to layering each filling and leaf. Engaging in this activity allowed participants not only to experience traditional cultural elements but also to unleash their creativity.
Going beyond cake packing, the event also hosted a distinctive countryside fair. Various stalls showcased a range of local products, from handicrafts and regional specialties to organic produce. Families participating in the event had the opportunity to experience the joyous and cozy atmosphere of a traditional countryside market.
This event wasn’t just about entertainment but also provided a platform for individuals and organizations to express their social responsibility. Hanoi Telecom and the Green Sail Fund demonstrated their commitment to the community, creating a space for people to connect, share, and collectively build positive values for society.
The “Pack Love – Cultivate Happiness” workshop was more than just an immersion in the traditional Tet atmosphere; it represented a meaningful step by Hanoi Telecom and Wisteria in fostering teamwork spirit, community cohesion, and creating positive values for society.

Internal news number 31 | November 2023
06.12.2023
November, with the shift in weather, also marks the period of transformation for Hanoi Telecom in the new phase with long-term strategies: signing partnerships, gratitude activities, and commemorating November 20 or organizing International Men’s Day across the three regions… Let’s look back at these wonderful moments together with the November newsletter of Hanoi Telecom.
October marks a significant milestone for Hanoi Telecom as it ventures into a new domain called Wisteria. Let’s revisit these remarkable moments together in Hanoi Telecom‘s October Newsletter.
It’s far from simple when discussing the successes in the ICT domain of businesswoman Nguyen Hien Phuong, currently serving as the Deputy CEO of Hanoi Telecom Corporation (Hanoi Telecom-HTC).
She’s a rare female leader in an industry renowned for its breakneck pace and relentless pressure. Hien Phuong, an 80s-generation female entrepreneur, has not only realized her dreams from an early age but has also kept her passion for her profession burning steadily. In Hien Phuong’s journey, one question always resonates: Why can’t women excel in the field of telecommunications and information technology?
From hypothesis to hands-on training
Hien Phuong, who received comprehensive education in Vietnam, had the opportunity to undergo specialized training abroad during her career. This helped her broaden her horizons and quickly adapt to the rapid changes in the era of digital technology and the digital economy, ultimately utilizing her strengths effectively in her work.
All of this became the tools that the “female general” of Hanoi Telecom and her leadership team used to find new directions and contribute to increasing the market share and revenue of the company. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Hanoi Telecom not only stood its ground but also managed to achieve significant development after the crisis.
Over the course of 20 years of establishment and growth, Hanoi Telecom has built a solid foundation, establishing long-term relationships with numerous foreign partners, especially in the Asian region. These favorable conditions provided the groundwork for restructuring and reaching larger business goals.
“Even in the most challenging times brought about by the pandemic, we managed to create new products and services, forging a new path for ourselves,” reflected the Deputy CEO.
As evidence, they successfully completed the EcoDC data storage unit, achieving the Uptime Tier III-TCCF and TCDD standards, the first of its kind in Vietnam. They also launched the “Connect with Tutors” service and officially opened the Tekmonk Technology Academy. These services and products play crucial roles in the company’s current phase of development, as asserted by Ms. Hien Phuong.
Returning to the question that once troubled her, Ms. Hien Phuong shared a “trick” for a female leader to succeed: “I always assume positions as an employee to analyze difficult situations. Through sharing and empathy from leadership, employees can find solutions. When your employees trust you as a ‘colleague leader’ in every moment, their dedication to the common cause multiplies—I firmly believe in this!” she smiled.
Sweetness from humanitarian ideas
For over three years, successive waves of Covid-19 outbreaks occurred throughout the country. Hanoi Telecom managed to maintain its production and business activities while taking care of the lives of its employees and actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Ms. Hien Phuong shared that Hanoi Telecom’s motto is to always stand alongside the community, making the community and society the continuous focus in all of their decisions.
One can mention their fundraising efforts to support the government’s Covid-19 vaccination program. They also participated in the “Waves and Computers for Children” program initiated by the Prime Minister. Currently, the company continues to support and call for help for this program to ensure that “no student is left behind” in the age of digital technology.
“Building and strengthening the education foundation, moving towards digital education in the era of Industry 4.0, is the guiding principle of Hanoi Telecom’s activities as a whole, and our volunteer activities in particular,” Ms. Hien Phuong emphasized.
Every year, Hanoi Telecom implements the LIFT UP THE LIGHTS program, supporting the construction and renovation of schools, classrooms, infrastructure, and equipment sponsorship for schools in remote and disadvantaged areas. Some examples include the Cooc Cooc Kindergarten in Ha Giang (2020), the Con Se Primary School in Quang Loc, Ba Don, Quang Binh (2020-2021), the Chim Van Primary School in Bac Yen, Son La Province (2022), and the Hang Lia Hong Thu Village School in Tua Sin Chai, Sin Ho, Lai Chau (2023).
Adapting to the “new normal” after the pandemic is a significant challenge for all businesses, but there are always “sweet rewards” for those who accept challenges and seize opportunities.
Ms. Nguyen Hien Phuong believes that, with the inherent strengths of a telecommunications and information technology company in terms of telecommunications and data infrastructure, network security control, and long-standing partnerships with foreign partners, along with dedication and responsibility, Hanoi Telecom confidently anticipates and welcomes new waves, striving to compete on an equal footing in the digital transformation race.
Through this, they aim to develop Hanoi Telecom into a national telecommunications conglomerate – an internationally recognized brand that aligns with Vietnam’s dynamic digital landscape.
CEO Trinh Minh Chau – The Exceptional Woman of Hanoi Telecom, an Icon of Patience and Talent!
18.10.2023
In the business world, especially during times of rapid technological change, there is a remarkable woman who has become a source of inspiration and motivation for all members of Hanoi Telecom – Madam Trinh Minh Chau.
“Madam Chau” is a name that was coined 24 years ago when she worked at the joint venture company Sumi Hanel. Later, during her tenure as the first female CEO of Hanel Company, the name became a well-known and highly respected identity, appreciated by multiple generations of employees within Hanel, a state-owned enterprise known for being a leading high-tech electronics manufacturer in Hanoi. Madam Chau is considered the first female general in the business world in Hanoi and Vietnam, successfully taking Vietnamese branded products with high intellectual content to the international market, receiving positive evaluations from partners and customers. As one of the founding shareholders, Madam made a tremendous contribution to laying a solid foundation for Hanoi Telecom, setting the stage for Hanoi Telecom as the first joint-stock enterprise to collaborate with Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing to establish HT Mobile, now known as Vietnamobile – the first and only foreign-invested mobile network operator as of this moment.
With the remarkable successes achieved, Madam Chau is not just a talented leader but also a symbol of a shining example, showcasing boundless passion, unwavering dedication, and perseverance beyond imagination.
Vision and Leadership
Over the past 22 years, Madam Chau, alongside the leadership team of Hanoi Telecom, has guided the company’s transformation from a small-scale joint-stock enterprise with a modest initial charter capital of 8 billion VND. Today, Hanoi Telecom has made significant strides, evolving into a diversified technology conglomerate with a charter capital of 1.6 trillion VND and consisting of nine subsidiary units spanning across 63 provinces and cities. Employing over 3,000 staff, Hanoi Telecom not only provides fundamental telecommunications services but also plays a pivotal role in shaping and advancing the development of Industry 4.0.
Patience and Dedication
Despite facing numerous challenges in the course of building her career, Madam Chau never entertained the idea of giving up, even as a fleeting thought. It seems that challenges only made her stronger, fueling her with fresh and innovative ideas. “Just keep moving forward with enthusiasm and determination; you will reach your destination” is what we have learned from Madam.
The Vietnamobile project is a prime example of attracting foreign investment in the telecommunications industry. Over the past 14 years, it has attracted nearly 2 billion USD in foreign investment. The HTC International Telecommunications project, with more than 13,000 km of fiber optic cables, consisting of 03 North-South backbone routes and the first data center (Eco DC) meeting Uptime Tier 3 standards for both design and construction in Vietnam, is another testament to the resilience of the telecommunications industry. The growth of its subsidiary units, expanding globally with the establishment of VNCS Global in collaboration with Japan’s largest cybersecurity conglomerate, Terilogy, is the clearest evidence of Madam’s determination to overcome challenges and achieve success.
Contributions to Society
In contrast to her fiery nature in business, Madam Chau is a person who quietly engages in charitable activities. She believes in “Helping others from the heart.” It is this heart and vision that has earned her the respect and admiration of her employees, colleagues, and partners. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, when the company faced significant difficulties in sustaining its business operations, Madam Chau was steadfast in her decision not to reduce salaries and even offered additional support to employees in affected areas, providing financial assistance to families affected by illness. Her regular charitable activities, from building pagodas, schools, and medical stations for disadvantaged children in remote areas, are carried out annually through the Green Sail Fund.
Madam Trinh Minh Chau is not only a talented leader but also an embodiment of determination, perseverance, and compassion. She is the pride of many generations of Hanoi Telecom employees, serving as an inspiration for us to learn, work, create, and contribute every day.
Hanoi, on the last day of autumn in the Year of the Tiger.
