Sacombank has appointed Ms. Nguyễn Thị Kiều Anh as Deputy General Director and concurrently as Corporate Secretary and Head of Information Disclosure. Ms. Kiều Anh, born in 1983, holds an MBA in Business Administration from the Banking Academy and has more than 20 years of experience in finance and banking. Before joining Sacombank, she spent 18 years at VPBank in various roles, from credit officer to branch manager and regional director. Prior to Sacombank, she held senior positions at LPBank, including Branch Director, Assistant to the Chairman of the Board, Deputy Chief of the Office of the Board, Executive Committee member, and Deputy General Director. She also served on the boards of LPBank Securities and LPB Fund Management Company. The appointment comes as Sacombank implements a new organizational model, effective March 16, 2026. In the context of restructuring to reduce intermediate levels, accelerate coordination, and elevate execution accountability, the role of Corporate Secretary and Information Disclosure becomes increasingly important to support governance matters and ensure timely, compliant disclosures to the board and regulators. Sacombank has streamlined its organization from 12 to 9 business blocks, moved toward a front-back structure with an 80/20 ratio, and shifted to a sectoral model to enhance efficiency, sustainable growth, and maximize benefits for shareholders, partners, and customers. The bank has also refreshed its logo and brand identity and announced a new brand ambassador. Recently, the Board appointed Mr. Nguyễn Đức Thụy as Chief Executive Officer effective March 3, following his two months with the bank. The bank states these appointments reflect a consistent leadership strategy designed to strengthen governance and execution capabilities and ensure timely disclosures in line with legal requirements.
