About Tan Tran

I don't just build software. I build businesses, teams, and opportunities.

Welcome.
This is my story—a journey from a hands-on builder to a global business leader, driven by a passion for technology and a relentless pursuit of growth.
Let's explore how we can create value together.

A portrait of Tan Tran, a technology leader and engineering manager.

My Journey

2002 - 2013

The Builder at Heart

My career began with a deep passion for creation. At companies like TMA Solutions and S3 Solution, I built my foundation not just by writing code, but by architecting data-intensive, high-performance network solutions for global tech giants like Nortel Networks, Alteon, and Ruckus Wireless. This was where I learned that a robust data architecture is the bedrock of any great business.

2016 - 2024

From Code to People

Founding Carptech Corp was my pivotal transition. I realized that to scale a product, you must first scale people and processes with a data-driven mindset. I went from building software to building a 100+ employee company, using data to inform everything from P&L management to strategic decision-making during the COVID-19 crisis. I learned that true leadership is about enabling others to succeed with clear, measurable insights.

2024 - Present

The Global Strategist

My recent roles at VNG and Titan Technology were about taking that leadership to a global scale. Today, at WitData, I synthesize all these experiences to help businesses leverage data and AI for digital transformation. I don't just manage; I build data-driven strategies that create new markets.

My Philosophy

I believe that technology should be a force for empowerment, not complexity. My approach to leadership is rooted in creating clarity, fostering autonomy, and building resilient teams that can thrive in ambiguity. True growth is never just about the bottom line; it's about building sustainable value for customers, employees, and partners alike. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

...And a Lazy Triathlete

Ironman finisher. It's my metaphor for business: success requires endurance, discipline, and knowing when to rest. The "lazy" part is the most important.
