BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT MR. NGUYEN HOANG TU DO
The Man Named “Freedom” with the Aspiration to Go Global Through Systemic Power and Enterprise Competitiveness
BIZMAP Was Not Born from Meetings—But from a Lifelong Question
BIZMAP – The Business Map was not created in meeting rooms, academic debates, or research laboratories.
It was born from a fundamental, haunting question that followed one man throughout his life:
“Why can multinational corporations stand strong for hundreds of years, while Vietnamese enterprises remain small and fragile in the face of market turbulence?”
The man who carried that question bears a name that feels like a historical calling:
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Tu Do — Founder of BIZMAP – The Business Map, a platform for assessing and upgrading enterprise competitive capabilities, and an independent Investment Arbitrator & Guardian, safeguarding the balanced interests of both enterprises and investors.
He currently serves as Chairman of the Board of EDUBELIFE Financial Skills Training JSC and Tu Do Companion Consulting JSC.
The Pioneer Who Left the First Footprints for Global Brands in Vietnam
Within multinational circles, Mr. Tu Do is recognized as a market pioneer—not one who enters markets by intuition or emotion, but by systemic evaluation:
seeing through market structures, reading demand accurately, designing the right value chains, placing the right touchpoints, and transforming strategy into executable operations.
He was the individual who laid the foundations and left the “first footprints” for global brands entering Vietnam, most notably:
- Starbucks Coffee (USA)
- Circle K Vietnam (USA)
What makes this achievement exceptional is that the strategies he designed at the very beginning—more than a decade ago—remain effective today, quietly continuing to drive strong and sustainable growth for these brands across Vietnam.
A Leader Who Has Traversed Nearly Every Management Level: From Hands-On Operations to Strategic Peak
Mr. Tu Do’s distinction lies in the fact that he did not specialize narrowly in a single function such as HR, marketing, or sales.
Instead, he has experienced nearly every critical management tier, from grassroots operations to top-level strategy, within internationally standardized enterprise systems.
- Deep Operational Combat Experience — Understanding the Enterprise from Its Backbone
He immersed himself in the operational bloodstream of enterprises—where success or failure is determined not by slogans, but by processes:
- Manufacturing processes, procurement of raw materials and machinery, quality management practices
- Import–export operations, international trade promotion, and exporting to multiple countries
- Market research and field execution; distribution system setup; site selection and business location development; nationwide retail and restaurant chain operations
- Central warehouses, distribution centers, and end-to-end logistics optimization
- Sales reporting systems, receivables monitoring, and debt collection—from frontline execution to management reporting
Because of this deep hands-on experience, when Mr. Tu Do speaks about strategy, he speaks not in theory, but in feasibility.
- Rising Through Capability—Not Through Chance
He has held roles including Quality Manager, Import–Export Manager, Head of Sales Coordination and Chain Development, Retail & Franchise Director, and ultimately reached the position of Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Laundry Systems (USA) in Vietnam.
His professional ascent is a steady upward trajectory marked by organizations that demand international standards:
- Import–Export Specialist – A&C Company (Vietnam)
- Head of Import–Export – Saigonpalm (Vietnam)
- Executive Assistant to the CEO & ISO Quality Management Representative – Thinh Phat Electric Cable JSC (Vietnam)
- Head of Sales Coordination – Avon Vietnam (USA)
- Head of Store Development – Circle K Vietnam (USA)
- Head of Retail Development – Apple Tree (France)
- Head of Store Development – Starbucks Coffee (USA)
- Retail Director – MyKingdom (Viet Tinh Anh Group)
- Deputy CEO – Sushi King (Japan)
- Deputy CEO – GG Holdings
- CEO – Alliance Laundry Systems (USA), Vietnam
Each step marked a milestone in his disciplined journey to uncover the operating mechanics of a truly strong enterprise.
- A Strategic Architect: Mastering Plans, Numbers, Cash Flow, and Growth Structures
Mr. Tu Do possesses the capability to design and execute:
- Short-, medium-, and long-term action plans; financial KPI systems; investment cash flows; break-even points; revenue structures
- Integrated online/offline marketing strategies; HR systems; training and knowledge transfer programs
- Enterprise diagnostics leading to synchronized restructuring, digital transformation, and sustainable development
- Business strategy and business model design; market research; project feasibility assessments
- Retail channel development; chain operations; franchising; KPI governance and cash-flow control
From this foundation, he created the BIZMAP training and advisory framework—enabling enterprises to clearly see where they stand in the competitive landscape, understand themselves accurately, and act with the right resources.
He advises and coaches enterprises, provides 1-on-1 executive coaching, and builds fundraising and IPO roadmaps and dossiers.
The “YES / NO” Gatekeeper for Global Corporations Entering Vietnam
At the highest level of strategic governance, Mr. Tu Do serves as an expert advisor to global insight networks such as GLG, Third Bridge, and LYNK.
In this role, he is compensated at premium hourly rates to re-evaluate market research reports delivered by leading firms (Nielsen, Kantar, Ipsos, GfK, etc.) before multinational boards make their ultimate decision:
👉 YES or NO — Enter or Exit the Vietnamese market.
In other words, he does not only understand enterprises;
he understands how the world evaluates Vietnam—and what Vietnam must prepare to compete globally.
Leaving Multinationals to Build BIZMAP: Fulfilling a Mission to Elevate Vietnamese Enterprises Globally
When asked why he left executive roles in multinational corporations to focus on building BIZMAP, Mr. Tu Do reflected on his lifelong quest:
What enables multinational corporations to endure for hundreds of years?
Is it capital alone—or something deeper?
Rather than speculate, he chose to answer with his own life.
He deliberately traversed multiple roles, industries, and enterprise models—domestic and multinational—with the mindset of a craftsman learning the profession of management, determined to find the answer to one question:
How can Vietnamese enterprises grow strong, sustainable, and globally competitive?
Today, he has found that answer—and he has committed the most valuable remaining years of his life to transferring this managerial essence to Vietnamese business owners through BIZMAP – The Business Map.
The Aspiration of Mr. Tu Do – The Mission of BIZMAP
To transfer international-standard management skills, localized for Vietnam, so that business owners truly mature—enabling Vietnamese enterprises to grow strong and stand shoulder to shoulder with global corporations, fulfilling the vision once articulated by President Ho Chi Minh.
BIZMAP: International-Standard Management Philosophy—Simplified So Anyone Can Operate It
The reality is clear: many Vietnamese enterprises are large domestically, yet remain small compared to multinational corporations.
Without learning, humility, and comprehensive capability upgrading, they risk falling behind countries deeply embedded in global value chains.
With that awareness, Mr. Tu Do created BIZMAP – The Business Map with a bold yet grounded ambition:
- A platform for assessing and upgrading enterprise competitiveness
- An independent Investment Arbitrator & Guardian, protecting balanced interests of enterprises and investors
- A profound management philosophy simplified to the extent that even business owners without formal finance or management backgrounds can operate their enterprises systematically
BIZMAP is the first business philosophy in Vietnam created by Vietnamese, for Vietnamese, designed to rapidly close the gap between domestic enterprises and global standards.
Mr. Tu Do does not turn management into rhetoric—
he turns management into a tool: tangible, usable, and life-sustaining.
“Mr. Tu Do on the Street” — A Strategist Who Never Sits Still
Among multinational peers, Mr. Tu Do is known by a striking nickname: “Mr. Tu Do on the Street.”
Not standing on the street to speak—but to listen:
to observe consumer flows, purchasing rhythms, footsteps of shoppers, small alleys, local markets, commercial streets, and shopping malls—where living data exists beyond boardrooms.
This ability is the fusion of three elite managerial qualities:
- Strong academic foundations
- Extensive real-world operational experience
- An exceptional instinct for market sensitivity
His academic background includes:
- Bachelor in International Economics – Foreign Trade University (Vietnam)
- MBA – Solvay Business School (Belgium)
He also received intensive internal training from corporations such as Starbucks and Circle K across the USA, Indonesia, and Hong Kong in retail management and chain development.
A Leader Who Reached the Top—Yet Chose Simplicity to Give Without Expectation

His contributions include:
