Jolly Nguyen, Founder of EVOL, Vietnam

Today’s episode is with Jolly Nguyen who is based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  She is the founder of EVOL Vietnam, a social enterprise that is raising awareness of urban citizens about the importance of reducing single use plastic and preventing these plastic from polluting the ocean via community projects.  This is the second time we are recording this conversation because the first time, we had some audio interruptions and I wanted to showcase her work better and so this round, we re-recorded the episode and I must say I am excited for you to hear about Jolly’s strategies and tips. In this episode, we spoke about strategy, fundraising, stakeholder management, networking and partnership-building for a greater good.  She talks about asking for support for her projects, engaging her stakeholders beyond financials and expanding her network every time she goes out to speak or participate in conferences and programmes.  Jolly is a well-networked individual and has seen the power of networking pay its dues directly and indirectly.  For the full show notes, visit WomenpreneurAsia.com This episode is sponsored by Redbox Studio.
