Hosts: Hao Tran
Guest: Stephen Turban

EP 402 of Vietnam Innovators (English Edition) welcomes Stephen Turban - Co-founder & CEO of Lumiere Education, and a familiar face on the Saigon Tếu stand-up comedy stage. A two-month trip to Vietnam in 2017 completely reshaped the former McKinsey consultant's career trajectory, embarking him on a journey to build a global education enterprise without relying on venture capital.

In conversation with host Hao Tran, Stephen shares strategies for managing a multinational team and the importance of moving past the mindset of treating remote talent as "cheap labor." He emphasizes that the key to scaling lies in recruiting the top 5% of exceptional talent and offering them an equal growth environment on par with major global hubs like New York or London.

Beyond business insights and the discipline of staying true to core strengths, Stephen brings a fresh perspective on keeping a clear boundary between his CEO role and his passion for comedy - proving that leaders don't necessarily have to "productivize" every personal hobby to achieve sustainable success.
