CHAIRMAN'S COUNCIL XUAN NGUYEN

When Xuan Nguyen was a boy, he often looked out of his window and let his imagination run free. He wondered what it would be like to be a bird, to soar high above the earth, to view the world from a perch high in a tree. He pondered what it would feel like to see the world, to visit places he had never imagined before.

Years later, through World Financial Group, Xuan has flown to places around the world and reached the heights of his career.

"The journey of a person will never be completed unless you are able to expand your vision and see all that life can offer you, both physically and mentally," Xuan said. "I always wanted to find new things, see new places and explore new thought."

Xuan grew up in Vietnam without a lot of money, often watching his father struggle with his own business. Xuan's father died when he was young, prompting Xuan to work while he was still in high school to help support his mother, a housewife, and the rest of his large family.
