Pham Thu Huong, Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong's Wife, Named Chairwoman of Dominant Ride-Hailing Firm GSM

Pham Thu Huong, the wife of Vingroup chairman Pham Nhat Vuong, has been appointed as the new chairwoman of GSM Green and Smart Mobility JSC.

She succeeds Phan Thanh Long in the role, following GSM's merger with Green Future, a vehicle leasing company founded by Vuong.

Expanded Services and Market Leadership

The merger has diversified GSM's offerings to encompass taxi services, ride-hailing, vehicle leasing and purchasing, driver training, and additional transportation solutions.

GSM operates solely with motorbikes and electric vehicles manufactured by VinFast, Vingroup's electric vehicle division.

Boasting a charter capital of VND43.4 trillion (around $1.6 billion), GSM holds over 50% market share in Vietnam's ride-hailing industry.

Family Influence and Billionaire Backing

Both Pham Nhat Vuong and Pham Thu Huong rank as billionaires on the Forbes list, with Huong making her debut in February 2026.

This appointment highlights the Vuong family's growing stewardship over Vietnam's mobility ecosystem.

Founded by Vuong, Vingroup has transformed from real estate into a powerhouse in technology, EVs, and smart transportation.

GSM is aggressively pursuing regional expansion into Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The firm recently introduced its inaugural electric taxi service in the Philippines, signaling strong international momentum.

Huong's leadership is poised to propel GSM's mission in sustainable, green mobility across Southeast Asia.

This development reinforces family-led innovation amid Vietnam's rapid urbanization and EV adoption surge.
