Aircraft maker Airbus has appointed Hoang Tri Mai as its new general director for Vietnam.
Mai will oversee all Airbus operations in Vietnam, including supporting business activities and managing relationships of the firm with the Vietnamese government, the group announced Monday.
Mai, a Hanoian, was earlier the country director for Rolls Royce in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines.
She will work at the Hanoi office, replacing Jean-Michel Caldagues who will retire at the end of this year after 21 years of service for Airbus.
Anand Stanley, president of Airbus Asia-Pacific, said Vietnam is a key market for Airbus across all business sectors and has important industry partnerships in the country.
