“Currently, about 50 percent of Amazon’s sales come from enterprises and individuals account for another 50 percent," Thuy was quoted as saying by ttvn.vn. "I think the proportion of individual sales will continue declining in the comingyear."
He said companies had advantages over individuals in product quality and price as well as professional sales programmes.
Before working for Amazon Vietnam, Thuy spent eight years with Alibaba Group in the position of Country Manager. According to his description on Linkedln, he also served asvice president in charge of seller operation for Lazada Group for more than one year.
