This double recognition is a proud milestone that highlights Simon’s contributions to HR leadership, people capability development, and organisational transformation at ITL Corporation.
This is not only a proud milestone for Simon Thuc, but also recognition of ITL Corporation’s consistent strategic direction: building people capabilities as a strategic foundation for the group’s third Transformation journey and long-term growth.

It is also about building an organisation that can adapt, remain agile, and grow alongside the market.
