Dentsu Aegis Network has appointed Monica Mui as business director of iProspect Vietnam. She will be joining CEO Thu Nguyen, CGO Andrew Stephens and MD Pham Buu Long as a part of iProspect’s management team. 

Currently residing in Hong Kong, with plans to be based in Vietnam in the coming months, Mui (pictured) reports to Long. In her new role, she will be responsible for leading iProspect’s client and planning divisions as well as expanding the agency’s products and solutions.
