Before joining Viet Uc, Mr. Peter accumulated over a decade of leadership experience in technology and investment companies across Australia, Singapore, and Vietnam. He was a managing partner at 3 Comma Capital Group – an investment firm focused on high-potential startup models – and also served as a board member for Australian companies such as Roll’d Australia and VTPA Group.

Throughout his career, Mr. Peter has demonstrated outstanding ability in team building, executing effective market expansion campaigns, and fostering regional investment networks.

Mr. Luong Thanh Van is the quintessential self-made entrepreneur — a visionary with relentless ambition, sharp strategic thinking, and a pioneering spirit. Starting from zero in Australia, he launched his first business in the garment industry and later pivoted successfully into photo development, eventually becoming one of the most successful Vietnamese entrepreneurs abroad. His landmark acquisition of Kodak’s operations — including a 6,000-agent network and $50 million in annual revenue — stands as a testament to his ability to turn bold visions into reality.

Despite his overseas success, Mr. Van always harbored a deep desire to return to Vietnam and contribute to its growth. In the early 2000s, he took on a new challenge in a completely unfamiliar field — aquaculture — and founded Viet Uc Seafood Group. Driven by the mission to elevate Vietnam’s shrimp industry to global standards, he brought with him world-class knowledge, experience, and unwavering determination.

He spearheaded the establishment of Vietnam’s first and only broodstock shrimp breeding program, enabling the country to produce high-quality shrimp seed stock, reduce dependence on imports, and enhance national competitiveness. His philosophy is clear: in any sector he enters, the goal is not just to lead the market, but to create value that elevates the entire industry.

With the mindset that “Only when farmers succeed, do we truly succeed,” he has heavily invested in research, technology, and a fully integrated shrimp value chain. Under his leadership, Viet Uc has grown to become a dominant force in shrimp seed production and a pioneer in sustainable aquaculture — edging Vietnam closer to becoming a top global shrimp exporter.

As Chairman, Van has guided Viet Uc Seafood Corporation to build a comprehensive aquaculture ecosystem with nearly 2,000 employees, holding over 30% market share in shrimp seed. The group continues to pursue its mission of “Elevating Vietnamese Shrimp” — pushing the industry forward through technology, innovation, and sustainable development.

More than just a business leader, Mr. Luong Thanh Van is a passionate industry steward, driven by the belief that:

“Vietnam’s shrimp industry can master technology, elevate its position, and leave a mark on the global aquaculture map.”
