Viettel currently has over 14,000 female staff and employees, accounting for 29 percent of its overall personnel in Vietnam. Six out of 15 leaders are female, which is 2.5 times higher than the average rate of IT and telecoms firms worldwide.
All three ambassadors of WiDS in Vietnam are Viettel's personnel, who are Nguyen Tran Ngoc Linh, Director of the Data Analysis Center at Viettel Telecom, Ung Kim Phuong, Manager of Data Analytics Project at Viettel Business Solutions Corporation, and Anthony Guiot, Principal Data Scientist at Viettel Business Solutions Corporation.
According to Mr. Tao Duc Thang, Chairman and General Director of Viettel Group, "Women and men have equal contributions, not only in Viettel but also in Vietnam or around the world. Each gender has its own strengths, which complement each other to create synergy and resonance in each job."
After more than three decades of making a strong impression in the field of telecommunications-technology, Viettel has recognized the capacity of women in various fields such as politics, economy, culture, and society. To continue enhancing the role of women in the new technology era, it is necessary to create new incentives for women to participate in promoting sustainable growth, Thang added.
