*** Please note that Khang is fully booked for the whole year of 2026 as he only offers limited slots beyond his full time as Group Head of Digital and Technology at Banyan Group. Do not hesitate still to connect \/ follow \/ exchange with him if you are like-minded ***<\/span><\/p>\n \n With over 27 years of professional experience across Europe and Asia and counting (he started working in 1998), Khang Nguyen Trieu had the opportunity to grow a successful career in different companies and contexts, and has been both an individual contributor and a manager up to C-level positions. He also had his fair share of professional challenges and setbacks at some points in his career upon which he was able to build his way forward (one of the reasons he named his venture with this name).<\/p>\n Khang has always taken pride and satisfaction in growing the people in his teams – grooming some for example to a level where they ended up being invited (travel expenses covered) to go to AWS Re:Invent flagship event in Las Vegas to talk on stage. After 20 years of experience, some people in his network reached out to him for mentoring and he realised that he enjoyed helping people in tech grow beyond people in his own teams.<\/p>\n Khang’s offerings are purchased either by companies (often using their training \/ development budget) or by individuals directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n One thing to keep in mind though: for mentoring to have a noticeable impact, there are a few conditions to fill:<\/p>\n \u201cBelieving in sharing, transparency and freedom to take initiatives\u201d<\/span> You can check his Linkedin<\/a> as well to get a glimpse of his professional convictions and stance and if you’ve gone beyond this point, you are good to go for a 20min “get to know” each other to see if you want to proceed further with mentoring. As part of his mentoring, Khang uses a behavioral framework he designed himself to be relevant for engineers in tech: SHINE<\/p>\n Starting with a self assessment and a discussion on the goals you want to achieve personally, Khang will use this framework to help you grow up not only for yourself but in the eyes of the company.<\/p>\n Another approach which can be interesting for Tech leaders at ExCom or near to Excom level: the Sparring Partner approach. What does it consist in? It is based on the same principle of sparring partner in martial arts or boxing, practicing in real time on a leadership topic. Concretely, during a sparring partner session, the Tech leader and Khang will work on a concrete topic the Tech leader has (e.g re-org, strategic sourcing, set up a an AI CoE…) on which another Tech leader (Khang) can act as a sounding board but also co-deliver during the working session. The session therefore becomes a “productive” session concretely advancing a topic the Tech Leader needs to address, bringing him (external) insights and contribution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/knguyentrieu\/”<\/a>; url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Connect and Contact him” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”f0c14970-edab-4fe5-b501-071761b1506d” button_bg_color=”#00CEC8″ button_border_color=”#1FD7E0″ global_module=”921″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”What (Logos) – Offer: Mentoring for Tech Experts” module_id=”anchor-expert” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”anchor-OKR” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.7)” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”45px” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”64ff54df-265b-4db1-a04e-ebb20081003f” text_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.7)” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \n In a world where Technology is Power, it seems very strange that so many tech experts feel they are not recognized up to their value and not compensated as they should. Except for limited companies such as typically the big Silicon Valley ones (Google, Meta, OpenAI, Salesforce, Microsoft…), the reality is that most companies have kept their vision of Tech the same than in the past decades when “IT” was merely a support function. As an individual, recognized for your technical expertise in the company but without clear perspective for evolution of your career and compensation, how do you break this ceiling glass that is written no where? This is where mentoring can help you to identify the steps \/ tactics and actions to take to go beyond the ceiling glass: not necessarily to become a manager if your passion is into tech, but to become a Most Valuable Individual in the eyes of the management and the company for you to have the desired impact – and related compensation.

Born in France, he grew up with a double education: mostly Vietnamese \/ Asian at home, French at school and then at work. In 2016, when he moved to Singapore with his family, his first job involved building a software engineering team in Singapore and in Vietnam. Confident that his Asian roots would help him to manage teams in Asia as easily as he used to manage team in France, he discovered he still had to learn on managing cultural differences. In the second company he joined in Singapore as General Manager, he had to manage international initiatives with product and tech engineering teams from Singapore, Philippines, India, UK and USA. He went a step further in the third company he worked for, leading at C-level a massive cloud migration of 45 regional datacenters and server rooms involving teams across all continents as well as helping to set up a Tech center in Bangkok and make it work together with the historical Tech center in France, as well as outsourcing in India.\u00a0<\/p>\n For Tech leaders who are taking on responsibility of teams at a country level to an international level, especially with high cultural differences (Western \/ Asian), mentoring can help to set you up for success.<\/p>\n For those who appreciate being able to work jointly on some key topics they have, the sparring partner approach is also available.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/knguyentrieu\/”<\/a>; url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Connect and Contact him” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”f0c14970-edab-4fe5-b501-071761b1506d” button_bg_color=”#00CEC8″ button_border_color=”#1FD7E0″ global_module=”921″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”What (Logos) – Offer: Mentoring for C-Level” module_id=”anchor-Clevel” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76″ locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”anchor-Cloud” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.7)” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”45px” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”64ff54df-265b-4db1-a04e-ebb20081003f” text_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.7)” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a0As Tech leaders climb up the management ladder (for those who choose to go this way), they may feel they are sometimes following a lonely path, especially if working in a company which dominant culture may differ with their own (e.g an Asian leader in a Western company, a Western leader in an Asian dominant culture company). Daily interactions out of the Tech population will increasingly (or should if it is not the case) take a significant amount of time. While still being perceived as “The Tech person” in the C-Suite and Board room, Tech leaders at this level must also make their counterparts feel that they are much more than this, able to provide global strategic thinking beyond just Tech.<\/p>\n A blend of coaching and mentoring in a safe and confidential space can help Tech leaders to forge their path ahead with more serenity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n For those who appreciate being able to work jointly on some key topics they have, the sparring partner approach is also available.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/knguyentrieu\/”<\/a>; url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Connect and Contact him” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”f0c14970-edab-4fe5-b501-071761b1506d” button_bg_color=”#00CEC8″ button_border_color=”#1FD7E0″ global_module=”921″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your TECH CAREER.

Many things changed between these 9 years, from disruption to new capabilities brought by technology. But one thing did not change: transformation is hard for people and for organisations.\u00a0<\/p> But \"the only constant thing in life is change\", especially in these uncertain times. How should leaders navigate this paradox that statistically most of their transformation initiatives may fail while there is no choice than transforming?<\/p> As leaders, you can call out for clarity with ONE<\/strong> approach as a starting point across your organisation: OKRs<\/strong>. Have a read here on why this may be the most important thing to start with.\u00a0<\/p> OKRs<\/strong> stands for \u201cObjectives and Key Results<\/strong>\u201d and if applied efficiently and persistently across the board, this is the one thing that can help a company to succeed its adaptation to change. Note that if you think that OKRs are the same as performance \/ annual objectives, then you are not doing OKRs. The OKR approach was set up initially at Intel in the 1970s and then brought at a large scale and \u201copen sourced\u201d by Google<\/a>, which is sharing tools and methods to anyone interested into following this approach. To see OKRs in action, \u201cMeasure what matters\u201d by John Doerr<\/a>\u00a0takes us through a variety of companies which adopted OKRs.\u00a0<\/p> Khang Nguyen Trieu has leadership experience implementing OKRs across many organisations as an external senior coach through The Way Forward but as well as an internal C-level leader in previous companies he worked at (such as Accor). He has therefore himself experienced the change management and efforts required to ensure lasting adoption of OKRs from C-level to team level.\u00a0<\/p> \u00a0With his leadership skills making the bridge from business to technology, he delivers an OKR approach which delivers the following outcomes for organisations:\u00a0<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=\"Book a 20min Intro\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_size=\"14px\" button_text_color=\"#FFFFFF\" button_bg_color=\"#00CEC8\" button_border_color=\"#00CEC8\" button_border_radius=\"10px\" button_letter_spacing=\"0.1px\" button_font=\"Poppins|700||on|||||\" button_icon=\"$||divi||400\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"12px|24px|12px|24px|true|true\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"What (Logos) - Offer: Senior Tech Advisory for companies \" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76\" locked=\"off\" collapsed=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{%22gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" header_text_color=\"rgba(255,255,255,0.7)\" header_2_text_color=\"#FFFFFF\" header_2_font_size=\"45px\" custom_padding=\"||0px|||\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" module_id=\"anchor-AI\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"64ff54df-265b-4db1-a04e-ebb20081003f\" text_text_color=\"rgba(255,255,255,0.7)\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> \u00a0<\/p> AI here, AI there.

The work consists in doing an inventory of all applications and technologies used across the company and identify how they should be dealt with. This usually leads to retiring some applications not useful or redundant with others, optimize licences costs, etc... helping to generate recurrent savings.<\/p> The Way Forward can help you to put in place a structured approach and tooling to do this audit exercise, as well as set up the dynamic to make it a continuous activity to avoid repeating the same story over time. In this exercise, another outcome beyond recurrent savings is also the identification of re-investment opportunities to create competitive advantages for the company.\u00a0<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=\"Book a 20min Intro\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_size=\"14px\" button_text_color=\"#FFFFFF\" button_bg_color=\"#00CEC8\" button_border_color=\"#00CEC8\" button_border_radius=\"10px\" button_letter_spacing=\"0.1px\" button_font=\"Poppins|700||on|||||\" button_icon=\"$||divi||400\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"12px|24px|12px|24px|true|true\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"What (Logos) - Offer: Senior Tech Advisory for companies \" _builder_version=\"4.21.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76\" locked=\"off\" collapsed=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{%22gcid-8020c5c5-3063-43d3-92c5-9fcdd948cb76%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" header_text_color=\"rgba(255,255,255,0.7)\" header_2_text_color=\"#FFFFFF\" header_2_font_size=\"45px\" custom_padding=\"||0px|||\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" module_id=\"anchor-GeekToStar\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"64ff54df-265b-4db1-a04e-ebb20081003f\" text_text_color=\"rgba(255,255,255,0.7)\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> In most Travel and Hospitality companies, IT \/ Tech teams have long been considered more of a support function and a cost center.

Business Agility & Resilience through Cloud<\/span><\/h2>
<\/span>For 99% of companies, there is a pre-requisite for them to be digitally agile and being able to adjust their IT infrastructure costs dynamically depending on the business activity: Cloud. But the path to Cloud must be executed properly to reap its benefits rather than seeing costs grow out of control. This is not just a technical initiative: the path to Cloud integrates also dimensions such as onboarding finance teams (switch from a Capex to an Opex mindset, finops practices), re-architecting parts of the Informations Systems which should have different time to market and leverage on the Cloud, working with business stakeholders to identify the optimal business + technical transformation paths to the Cloud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Technological Fit-to-Business Cost-out & Investment<\/span><\/h2>
