Minh Ly’s Summary

Through the development of my skills in Marketing, Sales, and Business Development in a variety of businesses from small/medium enterprises to corporate level, I have finally realized a life long goal of having my own business.

The decision to open a Vietnamese cuisine eatery in Playa del Carmen came from seeing an opportunity and visualizing the results of acting upon it. We shall see in 3 months how I will make it happen.

My Positioning Statement:
"Make it Happen.....Make it Great!"

Minh Ly’s Specialties:
