“Xin chào”, my name is Nam Thiên – it means “Southern Sky” in Vietnamese and I’m 100% “made in Vietnam”. 

With a marketing background, fluent in 3 languages (English/ French/ Vietnamese), I have 8 years experience in finance – where my profession is taking care about foreign customers who want to have a bank account in Vietnam. Working in this position gives me a chance to meet people from all over the world, interact with diverse cultures and different perspectives.

And then, at a certain point, I told myself that I do not want to work for a boss anymore, I want to have something on my own, something that belongs to me which gives me a real “freedom” for my mind – that’s when I met my partner Youri Vereecke, who has the same direction as me, then that’s how ZotiYuri company is born. Cause if I’m not starting it now, then it will be too late after. And I convinced myself that I’m good enough, hardworking enough and never stop trying and hoping.

I was born in 1989, and my country celebrated its independence in 1975 after going through two big wars. I grew up with the changing of Vietnam day by day, after 45 years, from a poor country, we become Asian dragon for developing economic. However, at the same time, the opposite side of this innovation is that pollution is rising up everywhere, from the field in my hometown to the small alley of Vietnam biggest’s city – Ho Chi Minh. And the main reason of this “crime” is PLASTIC, which is so cheap to produce but takes so long to biodegrade. No, I can’t just let it happen, killing the environment where I’m living and also destroy the next generation, from the land to the sea. That’s why ZotiYuri’s mission is producing and bringing the best eco-friendly products with a reasonable price to our valued customers.
