Dr. Jean-Marcel Guillon, CEO of FV Hospital, has had the honour of being awarded Manager of the Year by the European Business Assembly (EBA). This award celebrates the success of regional businesses and top-level managers from all over the world, who have been making large contributions and positive changes in their professional areas as well as regional and global economic growth.

Our CEO, Jean-Marcel Guillon, was very surprised to receive this honourable award since he did not get any prior contact or notice from EBA. To obtain the basis for assessment on Dr. Jean-Marcel’s contributions in healthcare investment, EBA obtained information from a variety of different sources.

John W. A. Netting, EBA General Director said: “Ultimately leadership is about doing the things that drive action, get results, and improve performance. It is the ability to influence and motivate others, and provide the tools and environment to allow others to make the best contribution towards the attainment of their goals. They might not set out to be a leader, but they become one by the quality of their actions and the integrity of their intent. Dr. Jean-Marcel Guillon, CEO of FV Hospital, is definitely a true leader who satisfies all these requirements and expectations”.

Dr. Jean-Marcel came to Vietnam with the hope of helping Vietnamese people have access to world-class healthcare. Step-by-step he has built and developed FV Hospital which was the first international standard hospital in Vietnam.  It is now considered on par with leading hospitals in the region; however, Dr. Jean-Marcel’s ambition has not stopped here. He is committed to making FV Hospital one of the leading hospitals in all of South East Asia. This award provides for a lot of encouragement, not only for Dr. Jean-Marcel but also to all the staff at FV Hospital in their journey of improving the quality of healthcare available in Vietnam.
