Young N. Nguyen CEO and Founder
He is deeply passionate about hospitality but is more than less enthusiastic about its often tradition-bounded “mindless” management which nurtures inertia for change and innovation. Simplicity, he asserts, can only be achieved by those who understand complexity; and competitive advantage can be achieved by those who solve complex problems with simplicity. His mission has earned him many awards and made him a popular speaker.
He completed hospitality management study at Glion, and a number of executive courses from Cornell University, Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) and Heriot-Watt University.

Henrik completed his B.Sc. in Hospitality Management with first-class honors from Oxford Brookes University.
