Ho Chi Minh City, 3 February 2026
As Vietnam integrates more deeply into the global economy, the principles of corporate governance are evolving to meet complex geopolitical and strategic challenges. Indochine Counsel is proud to announce that Mr. Dang The Duc – Managing Partner and Mr. Ngo Dang Loc – Associate | Deputy Head of Banking & Finance, Capital Markets of Indochine Counsel, have been featured in the January 2026 Special Edition of Director Today, the flagship publication of the Institute of Directors (IoD), India.
This special edition, titled “Global Forces Redefining Board Leadership in Vietnam”, gathers perspectives from distinguished global leaders to explore how international standards and shifting power dynamics are redefining leadership in the boardroom. Representing Vietnam, Mr. Duc and Mr. Loc provide a detailed analysis of how global forces are reshaping the way boards in the region approach strategic risk, financial resilience, and transparency.
In their co-authored contribution, they highlight several critical areas for modern boards, specifically focusing on the heightened need for geopolitical awareness as regional tensions impact supply chain stability. They also address the necessity of economic adaptability, urging boards to “stress test” against global shocks and align with shifting international trade and tax regimes. Furthermore, they discuss the importance of regulatory sophistication, emphasizing that alignment with international standards like the OECD and FATF is essential for maintaining investor confidence as Vietnam advances in market classification.
The authors emphasize that for Vietnamese enterprises to thrive internationally, board leadership must move beyond traditional compliance toward a more proactive, risk-aware governance model. The inclusion of Mr. Duc and Mr. Loc in this prestigious international dialogue underscores Indochine Counsel’s dedication to promoting excellence in governance. By engaging with global platforms like the IoD India, we ensure that our firm remains at the forefront of the conversation, helping our clients balance local Vietnamese legal requirements with world-class best practices.
