About E Vector

A small, independent ESG practice

E Vector is a small advisory practice, run by one person and based in Ho Chi Minh City. I help project developers, investors and organisations understand and manage environmental and social risks, with honest and practical advice.

Who I am

Practical advice, grounded in real projects

E Vector started as a way for me to offer the kind of support I have been giving to projects for years: careful reading of the standards, time on site, and clear, usable recommendations.

Because I work on my own, I keep my scope focused and realistic. I would rather do a few things well than promise everything. For larger or multidisciplinary assignments, I am happy to work alongside specialist consultants or recommend them.

Founder & ESG Consultant

I studied environmental science and urban and regional planning in Vietnam and Australia, with lecturers who taught me to ask the right questions before reaching for answers. For more than eight years, I have kept asking them on renewable energy projects across Southeast Asia, from ESIAs to due diligence for lenders in line with IFC standards. Along the way, I have also worked on municipal solid waste, from collection and landfills to waste to energy, alongside international development partners.

On the investment side, I help European investors look beyond the balance sheet at the ESG risks of listed companies.

With E Vector, you talk directly to the person doing the work. And if you work in E&S too, I would be glad to compare notes.

Legal status

Operating transparently under Vietnamese law

E Vector is registered as a household business (hộ kinh doanh) with the local authorities in Ho Chi Minh City and operates in accordance with Vietnamese law. Registration details are available on request.

What you can expect

Direct

You work with me personally, from the first conversation to the final deliverable.

Focused

I take on a limited number of assignments so each one gets proper attention.

Honest about limits

If a task needs a specialist or a larger team, I tell you early and help find the right partner.
