Nguyen Hoai An, director of professional services at CBRE, Ha Noi, has won the Women of the Future Awards, South East Asia.

She was chosen from a shortlisted pool of five women professionals in the property and construction sectors.

She has an overview of research, consultancy, and valuation advisory, which includes overseeing feasibility studies as well as providing consultancy for development and property investments.

“ In addition to supporting young professional women, my vision is to help improve the quality of property product offerings in Viet Nam and pave the way for a more transparent property market.”

The awards, given away by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, were conferred outside the UK for the first time this year.

Talent shortages are more widespread in Asia than any other region, with more than 48 per cent of Asia-Pacific employers saying the shortage is posing difficulties in the hiring process.

Tapping under-utilised talent pools is crucial in easing this shortage and women represent an extremely large untapped resource.

The programme aims to encourage, motivate and provide role models to inspire and strengthen the female talent pipeline and in the process create a global community of supportive and collaborative women. — VNS
