Some people choose to rest when they’ve gathered enough life experience.
But there are also those who, at the age when most would slow down, choose to begin again — stronger, more creative, and more passionate than ever before.
55 is not the end of a career, but a comma that opens a new chapter — one filled with passion, knowledge, and purpose.
Because entrepreneurship doesn’t belong only to those in their twenties.
It belongs to those restless souls who never stop learning, who dare to change, and who aspire to leave a meaningful mark on the world.
And in that journey of renewal, Mr. Nguyễn Thành Lâm – Founder of Namitech and Former CEO of FPT Software – stands as a living example. Having once led one of Vietnam’s largest technology corporations, he chose to restart at 55 — venturing into the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the vision of a leader and the spirit of a true startup founder.
All of these reflections and experiences will be shared in the special workshop “Restarting a Career at 55”, hosted by Saigon Business School – where inspiring stories of learning, innovation, and entrepreneurship know no limits.
Join the workshop and experience a unique opportunity to:
- Gain inspiration about lifelong learning, and understand the value of constantly reinventing yourself — daring to step outside your comfort zone in your professional journey.
- Hear untold stories from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the area where Mr. Nguyễn Thành Lâm is currently pioneering research and innovation.
- Engage in an open Q&A session, where you can directly interact, ask questions, and learn from the experience of one of Vietnam’s former leaders in the technology industry.
About Mr. Nguyễn Thành Lâm – Founder of Namitech, Former CEO of FPT Software
After more than 15 years with FPT Software – a journey filled with growth, challenges, and transformation – Mr. Nguyễn Thành Lâm felt it was time to explore a new horizon.
From manufacturing and education to technology, he gradually ventured into different industries. Yet it was Artificial Intelligence (AI) that truly ignited his boundless curiosity. To him, AI’s potential is not merely promising — it carries the power to transform how we live and work.
That passion led him to VinAI, where he had the privilege of working alongside some of the brightest minds in technology.
As Director of Applied AI, he contributed to developing pioneering solutions that brought AI from research labs into everyday life — from smart vehicles to mobile devices.
