Duc Nguyen
Vice PresidentI was born and raised in France and graduated from Essec Business School. I lived in Egypt and I now live in Paris, France.
I started my journey in the world of tech at Societe Generale in Paris in the Innovation Department where our role was to build partnerships between the various departments of the bank and start-ups, mainly in the B2B SaaS field. I then joined Rocket Internet and was sent to Cairo, Egypt, to work with Jumia, an ecommerce company that went on to become the first African unicorn and the first to become public on the NYSE.
What I find most exciting about my job is to meet founders with global ambitions. At White Star Capital, we have a unique international footprint and I’m proud to help them build the world-class leaders of tomorrow.
When I’m not in front of my laptop, I am having a coffee with my friends, jogging along the river Seine or skiing in the Alps.
Inception is my favorite movie. It is the most beautiful representation of what it takes to make your dreams come true.
