Tan Hiep Phat's Deputy CEO

The worst example of sexual harassment occurred when I paid call on a senior man in Hanoi. I would normally go with another colleague from the communications department. He was about thirty years older than me, and when I stepped into his office, it was to the sight of him with his trousers down, exposing himself to me.

It was a shocking moment, and after momentarily freezing on I simply turned around and walked out. There was no point the spot, reporting it because he was powerful. The next year when I paid the courtesy call again, I made sure I came with someone else and never mentioned the incident again. I hope he felt embarrassed or regretted his behavior-but somehow, I doubt it.

I had not dressed in a provocative manner. I like to dress well, and I want to be feminine—but I dress to succeed, not to seduce.

I normally try to make sure I bring someone else with me to a meeting. This makes it much harder for any men present to make even mildly suggestive comments. If that is not possible, then I often do one-on-ones with men I do not know well in a public venue. I always try my best to not give men an opening to go down an uncomfortable path. I often try to get to know their wives.

"Women need to make sure they stand up and be counted", Phuong Uyen Tran shares her view

I also do not want to behave like a man, because I think there is great strength in a woman’s negotiating skills and abilities to listen. There is plenty of research demonstrating how a company’s operational abilities improve when there are more women on the board.
