Saigon – Hanoi Securities Joint Stock Company (SHS) has announced a Board of Directors’ resolution regarding changes to its senior leadership.

The SHS Board of Directors has announced a resolution on changes to the Company’s senior management. Accordingly, the Board approved the resignation of Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh from his positions as Board Member and General Director for personal reasons, and appointed Mr. Nguyen Duy Linh as General Director. The change of General Director and legal representative will take effect upon approval by the State Securities Commission of Vietnam.

The appointment forms part of SHS’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its executive structure, enhance management capabilities, and prepare its leadership resources for the Company’s next phase of development. This comes as Vietnam’s securities market enters an increasingly competitive cycle, requiring securities firms to reposition their operating models, strengthen governance standards, and continuously enhance service quality.

Profile of SHS’s New General Director

Born in 1982, Mr. Nguyen Duy Linh holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Solvay Brussels School, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and professional certifications in financial analysis, corporate governance, leadership development, and talent development.

Mr. Nguyen Duy Linh brings nearly 20 years of experience in the securities industry, having held senior leadership positions at VPBank Securities (VPBankS), Mirae Asset Securities Vietnam, and SSI Securities.

SHS Prepares for Its Next Phase of Development

The appointment of a new General Director comes as SHS continues to strengthen its operations and gradually enhance its governance and operating model to adapt to changes in the securities market. In 2025, SHS is expected to record VND 1,648 billion in profit before tax, exceeding its annual target by 20%.

Going forward, SHS will prioritize the implementation of its established strategic direction, with a focus on upgrading its technology and trading infrastructure, improving the client experience across service channels, and placing a customer-centric approach at the core of its “Service Branding” strategy. In parallel, SHS will continue to standardize its internal governance systems to improve operational efficiency and strengthen risk management capabilities. On this basis, SHS’s financial products and services will continue to be developed around the practical needs of different investor segments, with an emphasis on transparency, flexibility, and long-term effectiveness.

SHS is also focused on enhancing the quality of its research and investment advisory capabilities, with a wide range of macroeconomic, market, and company research reports receiving positive recognition from industry professionals and investors. Client services and wealth management capabilities will continue to be strengthened in line with SHS’s sustainable development strategy amid a dynamic market environment.

Alongside its business operations, SHS continues to strengthen its corporate governance standards, compliance, internal controls, and risk management practices to meet increasingly stringent requirements from regulators and the market. Human capital development and corporate culture initiatives are also being implemented in a coordinated manner, laying the foundation for long-term growth.
