Vietnam coffee king’s eldest son becomes deputy CEO of mother’s company
The eldest son of Dang Le Nguyen Vu, chairman of coffee giant Trung Nguyen Group, has taken over as deputy CEO at his mother’s company, TNI Group.
Dang Le Trung Nguyen, the eldest son of Trung Nguyen Group founder Vu Thao and businesswoman Le Hoang Diep Thao, has been appointed deputy CEO of his mother's company. This promotion marks a significant step in Nguyen's career and signifies the continued success of the family business. Nguyen, 28, is the only son among the four children born to Vu and Thao, who divorced in 2019.
Despite the end of their marriage, the couple maintained their business partnership. Vu, widely known as Vietnam's coffee king, established Trung Nguyen Group in 1996 and along with Thao, turned it into a leading coffee producer in Vietnam. Following their divorce, a court decision in 2020 granted Vu majority control of Trung Nguyen Group, while Thao received substantial cash and assets in compensation.
Thao then focused on her separate company, TNI Corporation, which was established in 2008 in Singapore to manage Trung Nguyen Group's export operations.
