On the 21st March 2017, the first Executive Committee (ExCo) Meeting with the recently elected and appointed 2017-2018 members took place simultaneously at EuroCham offices in Hanoi and HCMC. This is the first ExCo Meeting after its appointment at the Annual General Meeting 2017 which took place last 16th March. The main topic of this first ExCo Meeting agenda was the election of the new Chair and Vice-Chairs.
EuroCham is pleased to announce that the ExCo has elected Mr. Jens Ruebbert, Managing Director & Chief Country Officer of Deutsche Bank AG Vietnam, as Chairman of EuroCham Vietnam. He succeeds Mr. Michael Behrens, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Vietnam, who chaired the ExCo over the course of the 2016-2017 term.
The new Chairman said: “Michael Behrens and Nicola Connolly before him, did an excellent job consolidating EuroCham internally and we have a lot to build on. This is the year of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and EuroCham will remain highly dedicated to its promotion. We will work towards ensuring that our Members and Sector Committees have a voice in the way the EVFTA is worked upon going forward, in Vietnam and in Europe, while also continuing to deliver value to all those who are part of the EuroCham community, and to our partners.”
