Local e-wallet MoMo will be the next destination of Nguyen Xuan Truong, former CEO of local delivery company AhaMove.
The information was shared by Truong himself at the seminar titled “From Zero to Hero then back again Story of Former AhaMove CEO” organised by UP Co-working Space Vietnam and Startup Grind Vietnam on April 21.
“I want to challenge myself by entering a fresh field like financial technology (fintech) and joining MoMo would be a great challenge,” said Truong.
A representative of MoMo stated that Truong will be the company’s director of the money transfer department from April 22.
Right after the announcement of leaving AhaMove, there were rumours that Truong departed because the company was not able to compete with Grab and Go-Viet. Answering the issue, Tran Duc Huy, AhaMove’s former marketing manager, who also stopped working at the firm since the middle of April, posted on Facebook, “I left AhaMove because I no longer suit the company’s development strategies. I and Truong did not stop working at AhaMove because of Grab’s pressure.”
In addition to publishing a new work plan at the event, Truong also shared his experiences with young people who desire to establish their own startups but lack the knowledge and experience to join the tough field. Truong’s appearance lured dozens of young people to the event.
Sharing with VIR, Catie Hang Le, charter director of Startup Grind Hanoi, said, “We will try to organise similar seminars every month to create a forum where young people can learn and exchange experience about startups.”
