Prior to this, she was CEO of Fossil Vietnam, which acquired Misfit Wearables founded by her husband Sonny Vu, a Vietnamese American businessman for US$260 million in 2015.

Trang comes from a family with a long business tradition.

Her father, Le Van Tri, was a deputy CEO of Southern Rubber Industry Joint Stock Company (Casumina), Vietnam's leading tyre manufacturer, while her brother, Le Tri Thong, was a deputy CEO of Dong A Bank and is currently vice chairman of Phu Nhuan Jewelry Joint-Stock Company (PNJ).
