While many know Asian Premier Magazine (APM) for its refined storytelling and vibrant design, few realize that behind the magazine’s spirit of growth and global perspective stands a quiet yet forceful Ha Vo, CEO of LAVYON Media, whose creative insight and international outlook have supported APM since its earliest days.
From her base in Vietnam, Ha Vo and her team have been a source of steady inspiration — offering a global lens, fresh perspectives, and a shared commitment to elevating Vietnamese culture on the world stage. “Ha Vo doesn’t just think in terms of design — she connects worlds,” says Editor-in-Chief Michael Khai Pham. “Her vision helps bridge California to the international community, ensuring that everything we create carries both heritage and innovation.”
A Woman of Vision and Influence
With more than 15 years of experience in the media industry, Ha Vo has built a remarkable career that spans beauty, culture, and business. She currently serves as Vice Director of Đại Việt Toàn Cầu, President of Keva Link, and CEO of Keva Link Media Co., Ltd., a multimedia and event production company based in Vietnam.
She has been the Co-Founder and CFO of Dai Viet Global since 2008, together with Phụ Nữ Ngày Nay Magazine — one of the earliest publications dedicated to sharing information and tips for women. As the Director of the “Women of the Year” Awards, she has honored influential women across Vietnam and takes considerable pride in the achievements and staunch support the program has received from the public.
She is also the founder of LAVYON Magazine Vietnam, a lifestyle publication offering beauty, wellness, and entertainment insights. In 2022, she launched the LAVYON Beauty Awards, now recognized as one of Vietnam’s largest and most prestigious festivals celebrating the beauty industry and the entrepreneurs who define it.
Cultural Ambassador and Event Innovator
Beyond her business achievements, Ha Vo has become a trusted figure in international pageants and cultural exchange events. Her leadership has extended across borders — from Paris to Tokyo to Los Angeles — in programs such as Miss World Vietnam Entrepreneur, Miss Asia Vietnam Entrepreneur, and Miss & Mr. World Vietnam.
In 2018, she represented Vietnam as the Head of the Organizing Committee for Miss Intercontinental Vietnam in Paris, and a year later, she co-led the Asia Pacific Culture and Economic Exchange Conference in Malaysia. Her discerning eye and integrity also earned her invitations to serve as a judge for Miss & Mrs. Golden World 2019 and Miss Asia Vietnam Entrepreneur from 2016 to 2019.
She was also a business partner of the Miss International Queen Vietnam 2022 program and played a key role in a major charity game show, where she contributed from the very beginning — developing the concept, format, and media strategy for the show “Hành Trình Ước Mơ” (“Journey of Dreams”). The program was created to support people in difficult circumstances and help turn their dreams into reality.
Continuing her charitable mission, she initiated and was deeply honored to receive guidance and approval from the Vietnam Association for the Protection of Children’s Rights to establish the affiliated chapter “Ươm Mầm Ước Mơ” (“Nurturing Dreams”). With the support of her family, friends, clients, and partners, the project “Gieo 100 Hạt Mầm” (“Sowing 100 Seeds”) was launched almost a year ago under this chapter. So far, 20 “seeds” — representing underprivileged children — have already been sponsored. To Ha Vo, each child is a seed of the nation’s future. The program supports disadvantaged yet hardworking and academically excellent children, providing monthly educational assistance until they graduate from university.
A Bridge Between Vietnam and the World
Ha Vo’s enduring passion lies in connecting Vietnamese talent and businesses across continents. As Vice President of the Intercontinental Business Association (IBA) and an active member of ABVietFrance – the Vietnam-France Business Society in Paris, she has tirelessly built networks that empower Vietnamese entrepreneurs and promote cultural pride on the global stage.
Since 2020, she has led several international digital initiatives, including the “We Love Áo Dài” online contest, and served as a marketing sponsor for the Worldwide Beauty Competition 2021 in Canada. Her next ambitious project — a reality TV series blending business innovation and lifestyle storytelling — promises to extend her influence even further.
A Legacy of Creativity and Collaboration
For APM, Ha Vo represents more than a partner — she embodies the magazine’s spirit of collaboration without borders. Her refined aesthetic and cultural intuition continue to shape APM’s evolving identity, while her global partnerships have opened doors to new creative and philanthropic ventures across the Pacific. Her story is not defined by glamour but by grounded brilliance — the kind that comes from vision, discipline, and an unwavering heart for people. Over the years, she has not only elevated brands and communities but also nurtured opportunities for those who journey beside her.
As Ha Vo herself shares:
“Everything I do comes from a desire to connect businesses and partners — and, most importantly, to continue creating stable jobs for my employees and collaborators. Family means everything to me. The foundation of all that I have today comes from the values and discipline instilled by my parents and my life partner.
I deeply respect every kind of work, no matter how small. My guiding principle has always been: ‘If we cannot do the small things well, how can we ever reach greater heights?’
In the future, I plan to focus more on developing and empowering women and female entrepreneurs in the United States and around the world.”
In every sense, Ha Vo stands as a bridge between tradition and transformation — a woman whose quiet strength continues to shape how the world sees Vietnamese creativity, resilience, and grace.
