Vi Phung

Director of Operations

Q. What is your role at Whale Spa, and what do you enjoy most about it?

I currently serve as the Director of Operations at Whale Spa, but my journey here started in a very different capacity. I initially joined the company in sales and shipping. Over time, I began to recognize the potential for growth and the opportunities the company presented. As I became more involved in the operations and day-to-day workings, I realized this was not just a job, but a place where I could truly build and develop my career.

What I enjoy most about my role now is the opportunity to lead and create efficiencies that impact the business on a larger scale. I take pride in ensuring the smooth operation of everything from logistics to team coordination, and I love that I have a direct impact on the success of the company. Whale Spa has become a new life destination for me, where I've been able to grow professionally while contributing to the company’s success.

Q. What is a fun fact that your colleagues might not know?

A fun fact that my colleagues might not know is that I actually thrive under stress! I love working in high-pressure environments and managing a heavy workload—it keeps me on my toes and brings out the best in me. But on the flip side, I’m all about balancing that intensity with fun. I enjoy spending time with my amazing team, whether it's grabbing food and drinks together or having a little friendly gossip about the latest happenings in the company. It’s all about keeping the energy high and building strong relationships.

Q. Can you share a bit about your journey with Whale Spa? How did you get started here?

I have been working at Whale Spa for over five years. I came across Whale Spa by chance when I saw a job posting in Người Việt newspaper. From the moment I started, I knew for sure that this was the right choice for me. I currently work in the Shipping Department, where I’m responsible for shipping parts as well as pedicure and manicure products to Whale Spa’s customers.I love my job because it suits my personality—it's dynamic, flexible, and sometimes challenging, but it’s also a great opportunity for me to push myself.

I enjoy outdoor activities, love nature, and like hiking and exploring places I’ve never been before.

Q. Can you share a bit about your journey with Whale Spa? How did you get started here?

I started as an intern at Whale Spa back in 2019, and I’ve been here ever since. Over the past six years, I’ve worked my way up to become the marketing manager. It definitely wasn’t easy in the beginning, but I knew early on that I wanted to eventually lead a team—and I’m proud to say I’ve achieved that goal.

Q. What is a fun fact that your colleagues might not know?

A fun fact about me that I think everyone already knows is that I never finish my boba or any drink, but if anyone asks me if I want to order boba with them, I’ll always get FOMO and agree—even if I already have an unfinished drink sitting at my desk!
