Vinh Vuong is the Chairman and CEO of Garrison Fathom.
An entrepreneur since his teens, he has assisted in transforming ideas and prototypes into disruptive, high-valued companies through operational discipline, effective business development, and meaningful reputation management. His most notable ventures included successful exits of an algae biofuel company in 2010 and a mobile ordering software company in 2008.
Prior to Garrison Fathom, he led his personal holding company, VUONG Holdings, and advised clients on crisis and reputation management at his firm, VUONG Global.
At VUONG Holdings, Vinh averaged a yearly return of 133% through his equities and real estate holdings over a span of five years. In 2020, he spearheaded an effort through a public-private partnership with the United States government on critical and rare earth minerals labeled Project Takeoff. Vinh was also vocal in the support of the expansion of 5G within the United States and worked with partners to attract domestic investment and drive legislative support. He has also led mineral brokering efforts, which included a $1.5 billion gold deal signed in 2020. In October 2021 he led a group of partners who were among the final groups of investors to submit a final bid in an auction to purchase Remington Arms Company from bankruptcy in order to prevent a breakup of the 206-year old company. Vinh was the youngest investor to participate on this deal, at the age of 29.
At VUONG Global, he led or joined teams in crisis and reputation management projects for Fortune 500 companies, political leaders, and other high-profile individuals. Vinh’s expertise in financial and political issues was brought on by his mentors in Anthony R. Dolan, Robert H. Bork, Jr., and Richard Torrenzano. Vinh has worked directly with over 75 clients in a span of nine years, including HSBC, Broadridge, Morgan Stanley, CME Group, BNY Mellon, eBay, Qualcomm, Google, Facebook, The TMX Group, The Hershey Company, Investment Technology Group, The Pennsylvania State University, Starr Insurance Companies, Boy Scouts of America, Seaworld Entertainment, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. On the political front, he has worked with numerous advocacy groups in Washington, D.C. and political figures on issues ranging from tax reform to first amendment rights.
Vinh is a proud son of Vietnamese immigrants who came to the United States towards the end of the Vietnam war to seek the American dream and they did so with their Vietnamese restaurants in the Philadelphia area.
Vinh attended the Pennsylvania State University, where he played football under Joe Paterno as well as rugby. Vinh also completed the executive MBA program at Harvard University.
