He used to hold the position of sales director of Sendo.vn e-commerce platform, FPT Telecom product manager, Fshare.vn project manager and founder of Fsend service, marketing and product director of FPT Online. Currently, Truong is the chairman of the Digital Transformation Alliance for SMEs.

At FPT, Leon earned the titles of Top under 35 FPT, Top 100 FPT 2015… With intensive experience, he became a leading expert in the field of e-commerce and technology enterprises, as well as a speaker at many courses and forums.

Although Truong is busy with his leadership roles, and e-commerce is already dominated by many large businesses, he constantly put a lot of enthusiasm into helping SMEs.

He said, “SMEs need to approach and implement digital transformation quickly but in accordance with their capabilities and resources, ensuring the highest efficiency”. DTS’s chairman hopes to provide practical and feasible solutions for the survival of businesses in the digital period, preserving revenue, overcoming the pandemic crisis and developing in the future.

Vietnam’s e-commerce in the past three years has witnessed strong development. According to a report by Google and Temasek, Vietnam rose to third place in Southeast Asia in 2018, with e-commerce revenue estimated at $2.8 billion, surpassing Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Along with e-commerce, digital transformation is becoming a national strategy and a survival strategy for businesses and organizations in the 4.0 industrial revolution.

Users and business units benefit greatly from the competition among enterprises. Many large, small and medium enterprises, individuals and business households have added online sales channels on e-commerce platforms in addition to traditional stores. Many businesses invest in technologies and systems for marketing, sales and customer care. However, not all units can exploit profits and earn orders because of the lack of e-commerce and digital transformation solutions suitable for SMEs.
