Minh Phuong Hoang

I'm currently looking for a job in the field of sustainability, climate change, and ESG reporting.

I recently graduated from KU Leuven with a degree in MSc Sustainable Development (cum laude) on a full scholarship. I also have a BSc in Development Economics from Vietnam National University.

With my educational background and my experience in different sectors–corporate, NGO, advocacy, and government–I have cultivated skills and knowledge that I believe prepare me for the next stage of my career journey.
