Samsung Vietnam appoints its first Vietnamese senior executive
Samsung Vietnam appoints Nguyen Hoang Giang to SEVT senior leadership, the first Vietnamese executive in the company’s local manufacturing units.
Nguyen Hoang Giang becomes the first local executive to hold the role of deputy general director at Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thai Nguyen (SEVT), a Samsung production subsidiary in Vietnam.
He is also the first home-country talent to assume such a position at any of Samsung Electronics’ global smartphone manufacturing operations.

He joined Samsung Electronics Vietnam (SEV) in 2010. From 2013 to 2014, he served as director of the smartphone production division at SEV. Between 2015 and his latest promotion, he oversaw component manufacturing and later led the colour-technology division at SEVT.
Samsung said Giang has played a pivotal role in enhancing production processes, quality standards and operational efficiency, citing his strong technical foundation, organisational leadership and strategic vision.
SEVT remains Samsung’s largest manufacturing unit in Vietnam, according to the company’s third-quarter 2025 business report.
In the first nine months of 2025, it posted nearly 29.044 trillion KRW ($19.85 billion) in revenue, up 10 per cent from 2024, while net profit edged down 0.46 per cent to 2.001 trillion KRW ($1.37 billion).
Giang will take on expanded responsibilities across both SEV and SEVT following his appointment.
Na Ki Hong, general director of Samsung Vietnam, said the promotion underscores the growing importance and capability of Vietnam’s manufacturing workforce. “This marks a significant milestone, demonstrating the excellence and strategic value of our Vietnam-based talent,” he noted.
Across Samsung’s four manufacturing entities in Vietnam including SEVT, SEV, Samsung Display Vietnam (SDV) in Bac Ninh and Samsung Electronics HCMC CE Complex (SEHC), combined revenue reached 67.352 trillion KRW in the first nine months of 2025, up 5.53 per cent year on year. Total net profit rose 4.51 per cent to 4.369 trillion KRW.
