Tan Chwee Choon
Managing Director & SVP – Vietnam
Chwee Choon is responsible for the overall leadership and management of idsMED Vietnam, working hand in hand with Nguyen Van Hiep, to ensure the successful turnaround of our Vietnam business in FY2024. In particular, Chwee Choon will focus on our business in North Vietnam, whilst Hiep will focus on our business in the South.

Chwee Choon is a veteran in the Vietnamese Healthcare industry having worked mainly in Pharmaceuticals distribution in Vietnam for over 25 years since the mid-90’s. Before joining idsMED, Chwee Choon was Regional Director and Executive Board member of Hyphens Pharma Pte Ltd., a Singapore public-listed company. During his 18-year stint with Hyphens, he was instrumental in developing and expanding the regional business of Hyphens, most especially in Vietnam but also covering Indo-China and the Philippines.

Chwee Choon began his career with Warner Lambert after his national service in the Singapore Army, and has an illustrious track record with many global pharma companies including Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly and AstraZeneca. I am sure his extensive experience in leading Hyphens in Vietnam will be invaluable, preparing him well to lead idsMED Vietnam to quantum heights in SP2024-26.

Chwee Choon holds a Bachelor of Business with distinction from Curtin University, Australia. He was a past President of SAPI (Singapore Association Pharmaceutical Industry) between 1995 to 2000, and continues to be an active in SAPI and the regional healthcare industry.
