The People Who Safeguard the “Three Treasures Environment”
At AXA Engineers, we believe an ideal work environment is cultivated from three treasures: Wise Teachers (Leadership), Good Friends (Teammates), and Good Books (Systems & Processes).
In this ecosystem, the role of a leader is not to command, but to be a “Wise Teacher”—one who serves, creates, and ignites passion, building an environment where every individual has the opportunity to “thrive.”
Our team is a blend of international experience and a deep understanding of the ATED philosophy, with a consistent commitment: your success and our team’s happiness are two sides of the same coin.
Our Leadership Philosophy
Every decision and action of the leadership team at AXA Engineers is guided by our holistic ATED development philosophy.
Servant Leadership
We believe that leaders exist to empower and uplift the team. Our role is to remove obstacles and create the best conditions for our engineers to shine.
Cultivating the “Three Treasures” Environment
Our greatest responsibility is to build and preserve an ideal work environment, where there are wise mentors, supportive colleagues, and a transparent, effective system of processes.
Developing Leaders in Every Individual
Our goal is not just to have good managers, but to instill a “Leadership Mindset” in every engineer, creating a collective that is proactive, responsible, and always strives for excellence.
Our Visionary Leader
Anthony Nguyen Founder & CEO
Anthony’s journey is the soul of AXA Engineers. From his aspiration to build a bridge connecting the potential of Vietnamese engineers with the global market, he has crafted a unique business philosophy. He is the chief architect of the “Happy Business Model” and the ATED program, the foundation for an environment where engineers can find joy in their work and realize their full potential. His vision and story have been shared on the covers of prestigious international magazines like World’s Leaders and APAC Entrepreneur.
“We are not just building a company. We are building an environment where talented people can find happiness in their work and realize their full potential. Because I believe that only when our team truly thrives can we deliver the most exceptional and sustainable value to our clients.”
From an Aspiration to a Philosophy
In 2016, AXA Engineers was born with the aspiration of building a bridge to connect the potential of Vietnamese engineers with the needs of the global market. But Anthony soon realized that to build a sustainable bridge, it couldn’t be based on processes alone; it had to be built on a stronger foundation: People.
He architected the “Happy Business Model”—a philosophy that went against the grain of the outsourcing industry. Instead of focusing on maximizing short-term profits, he focused on building an environment where every individual felt valued, heard, and empowered to “thrive.” This philosophy evolved into the ATED (AXA Engineers Total Employee Development) program and became the soul of our slogan: “Where engineers thrive, not just perform.”
Proof of the Vision
Anthony’s unique philosophy has been widely recognized on the international stage. His journey and AXA Engineers have been featured on the covers of prestigious magazines like Liderii lumii și Antreprenor APAC , hailing him as an icon of the entrepreneurial spirit who turns visionary strategies into reality.
These recognitions are not just personal awards; they are a validation of a different business model—one that puts people at its center to create outstanding results.
The Leadership Philosophy
Building People, Not Just Projects
I believe a leader’s greatest success is creating an environment where every individual can realize their full potential.
Leading Through Service
My role is not to command, but to remove obstacles and create the best conditions for my team to shine.
Success is a Shared Journey
I believe the most sustainable achievements are built on a foundation of trust, respect, and the shared success of our clients, employees, and partners.
A Legacy in the Making: Building a Global Design Hub
Anthony’s vision does not stop at a successful outsourcing company. He is now leading AXA Engineers into its next chapter: becoming a global Design Hub, a center of knowledge and talent where learning knows no borders.
This aspiration is embodied in the meaningful “5-Star Impact” model, a commitment to creating sustainable value for Clients, Employees, Partners, the Community, and the Environment. For Anthony, this is not just business; it’s about building a legacy.

Întrebări frecvente (FAQ)
1. How involved is the leadership team in my actual projects?
Strategically involved. While your Project Manager will be your primary point of contact, our senior leadership, particularly CEO Anthony Nguyen, stays closely engaged and participates in key stages like project kick-offs and major milestone reviews. Our “servant leadership” philosophy means that leadership is always available to remove any roadblocks, ensuring your project runs as smoothly as possible.
2. With key advisors in the US, how does that practically benefit my project in terms of communication and standards?
It provides two major benefits. First, deep understanding: our US-based team helps us immediately grasp changes in market standards, regulations, and expectations without any delay. Second, seamless communication: you have a point of contact in your own time zone for strategic discussions, ensuring that your requirements and vision are communicated accurately and quickly to the execution team in Vietnam.
3. How does your philosophy of ‘developing leaders in every individual’ actually help my work?
When every engineer is trained with a “Leadership Mindset,” they don’t just follow instructions. They proactively “own” their part of the work, ask themselves “How can this be better?”, and feel responsible for the project’s collective success. This means you work with a proactive, highly accountable team, which leads to fewer errors and more innovative solutions for your project.
4. How does the Leadership Team ensure the ‘Happy Business Model’ is applied consistently across all offices?
Through system and example. Our philosophy is systemized in the ATED training program, which applies to every member regardless of office. Managers are trained to lead according to the “servant leadership” spirit. Additionally, we regularly organize joint activities and sharing sessions to ensure everyone is on the same page, with one culture, no matter where they work.
5. What role do the Project Managers play in upholding the company's philosophy?
Our Project Managers are the “ambassadors” of our philosophy on every project. They are responsible not only for managing timelines and technicals but also for creating a mini “Three Treasures Environment” for their project team: being a “Wise Teacher” to provide direction, fostering the “Good Friends” spirit for collaboration, and ensuring adherence to the “Good Books” (our processes). Their success is measured not just by the project’s outcome, but by the growth and cohesion of their team.
