NGUYEN THI THANH HAO

GROUP ORGANIZED TRADE MANAGER

There are so many wonderful things to talk about Suntory PepsiCo Management Trainee Program. I can summarize it in 3 words: Different, Worthy, and Amazing.

As far I can say, It changed my life. From a fresh student as a totally white paper, thanks to Suntory PepsiCo Management Trainee Program, I grew and developed myself significantly. I had opportunity to rotate many functions and learnt about overall business operations, roles of each department and applied it for my job. I was treated as a talent and had priority to join many training courses of Suntory PepsiCo. The program provided me knowledge about FMCG, Beverages industry, customer insights, sales channels, etc. and soft skills. It also gave me the chance to show off myself and got deserved rewards and recognitions. At there, I work with the best colleagues, the best team and have many joyfulness, happiness and success. I have grown fully and lived truly in Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam.

DU THAN DUY

PLANNING MANAGER – REVENUE MANAGEMENT & SALES REPORTING

I joined Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverage as a Management Trainee since 2015 and this has been one of my greatest journeys – with full of growing opportunities and unforgettable milestones. Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam became my 2nd family where I constantly learn from the most respectable leaders, who always “walk the talk” and empower their young talents to pursue “Yatte Minahare – Go for it” spirit. For sure, working in a dynamic FMCG environment brings a lot of challenges, but at the same time it also equips us and sharpens all kinds of critical experiences and valuable skillsets. My favorite leadership lesson is to be Patient and Perseverant: It does not matter where you start, it how far you can go that counts.

NGUYEN PHAM MINH VAN

MARKETING MANAGER

I am honored to be a member of Management Trainee Family, where I have been empowered and believed to lead, to stretch and to shine in my own way. During the rotation, I was able to broaden my knowledge, to learn with fresh eyes and to have strong connection and network across functions.
The most precious thing is as a Management Trainee, you will be in the community – where your managers and your colleagues might also be Management Trainees. This is how they could understand so well your needs and wishes in your career that they can support and empower you more throughout your journey. That’s where: Empowered MTs, empower MTs.

NGHIEM THE VINH

P&C MANAGER – BUSINESS PARTNER

The most memorable days from Suntory PepsiCo Management Trainee Program was traveling across the country for rotations stint, as Suntory PepsiCo has Sales offices & Plants in almost all key cities of Vietnam. That brought invaluable experience of cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of how Suntory PepsiCo business operates in different regions of the country, which is a strong stepping stone for post-graduation assignment & future managerial role. I still recall sleepless nights completing challenging projects with my talented batch-mates, but also amazing work trips with them to beautiful parts of Vietnam along the journey. At Suntory PepsiCo, you are trusted and empowered to make the success in your own way, from the smallest to the biggest ones. You can fail, you can learn, can do and can make the history with our Yatte Minahare spirit. What a time & program to treasure!
