SUMMARY

A clean-living Canadian citizen of Vietnamese ancestry. A professional marketing manager who evolving for the era of IoT Big Data. A hard-core blogger and advocate with my own community of 20,000+ subscribers and informed opinion that are strategic (e.g. The Digital Marketing Institute is a diploma mill whose graduates are no better than white-collar suicide-bombers). A natural born expat and business-school certified manager with a Bachelor degree in Economics and expert in Digital Marketing. Seeking an H1B-Visa position with an organization in New Jersey, salary on par with the State average. I like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood. Good day.
