Bio
Linh Nguyen
Working in the dynamic team led by Veronica at PwC has influenced me greatly on both professional and personal level. Veronica is a very definition of a leader. Her passion for corporate social responsibility, as well as her visionary thinking, has empowered our initiative, taking its social impacts to the next level. Under her leadership, our flagship CSR project, the Triple Effect, successfully spread beyond Egypt's borders to global campaigns in other countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Algeria, Burundi, Zimbabwe and Cambodia. With her positive attitude, she was not only a leader but a mentor whom I could always trust to support and challenge me during my time at PwC. I have a full confidence in recommending Veronica for any positions that suit her background and interests. I believe she will continue to be a valuable asset to any organization, wherever she goes.
