Chairman of the Board
Tuyen Nguyen is the Chairman of the Board and the co-founder of Khai Sang Corporation, an entity which invests in quality schools for both expatriate and Vietnamese children. He leads the vision and the strategic development plan of the corporation and of the group of schools. His belief is that education changes lives and every child deserves an equal opportunity for quality education which enables the student to reach his / her full potential. Having successfully founded and developed Renaissance International School Saigon since 2007, Tuyen has continued to research, invest and to develop a unique concept of high-quality-while-affordable schools called EMASI International Bilingual Schools that will help students develop critical skills for the modern world and to become fluent in English.
Tuyen has significant and diverse industry experience in both Vietnam and in the international market. Tuyen was the Chairman, CEO and founder of Saigon Gas Holdings Corporation, established in 1998, one of the largest gas distribution companies in Vietnam. In 2008, he made a successful exit by an M&A transaction with Total Oil and Gas, the world giant in the oil and gas industries. He is a board member of several companies including Chairman of Viet Huong Flavour & Fragrance JSC., a leading flavor and fragrance company in Vietnam established in 1995; co-founder and Director of the Rivermark Development Company since 2012, a property development business in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
Mr. Nguyen was born and grew up in Saigon, Vietnam, graduated from Ho Chi Minh City University in 1994. He previously lived in Houston, Texas, USA with his wife, Ms Quynh Nguyen, founder of the Nguyen Art Foundation, and their four children. To pursue his aspiration to provide quality education for young Vietnamese people, the family resettled in Saigon, Vietnam in 2018. Tuyen’s favorite quote: “Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.”
Vice-Chairwoman and Treasurer
Ms Quynh Nguyen is Mr Tuyen's wife. As a dedicated and wise mother, she strongly believes that a good school with good curriculums and a vibrant learning environment is the best preparation for a child before he/she enters into a wider world and becomes a global citizen. With such a vision, together with her husband, Quynh founded Renaissance International School Saigon in 2007.
Quynh is a successful businesswoman. She has been the founder and CEO of Viet Huong Flavour & Fragrance JSC. since 1995, a leading Flavor and Fragrance Company in Vietnam. Quynh defines herself as a businesswoman, a greatly devoted mother for her children's comprehensive development and an art lover.
Quynh also founded the Nguyen Art Foundation, an initiative dedicated to the preservation and promotion of art, both within Vietnam and abroad. The Nguyen Art Foundation aims to link artists working in Vietnam with opportunities to participate in international dialogues, and to assist them in navigating the global exchanges which can enrich not only their individual works and practice, but also the Vietnamese art scene as a whole.
Tuyen and Quynh have four children who all study at Renaissance International School Saigon. Thy Nguyen and Duy Nguyen studied at the school for 5 years before they moved to the US. The two younger boys, Chuong Nguyen and Kha Nguyen, are studying in the Secondary Division in this dynamic and excellent school.

Mr. Michael Deveney is a highly respected educational leader with a distinguished career spanning various international schools across Vietnam as well as other countries such as Kuwait, Japan, Thailand, and Myanmar. Notably, he served as the Head of School at Makuhari International School in Japan (2014 – 2018) where he successfully integrated the Japanese Ministry of Education curriculum with the English National Curriculum. He was also the Founding Principal of BVIS HCMC (2010 – 2014), Head of Secondary School at BIS HCMC (2004 – 2010), and Head of Secondary School, Acting Principal, and Senior Management Team member at The Regent’s School, Pattaya (1996 – 2004) where he oversaw operational planning and organisation at the school, including the boarding section.
With a deep commitment to fostering excellence in education, Mr. Deveney’s guidance will be enormously beneficial in EMASI’s effort to create an integrated bilingual program that incorporates the MOET curriculum and the Cambridge International curriculum, as well as the IGCSE and A Level programs. Additionally, his expertise shall help unleash the potential of our comprehensive learning environment, assisting our students in integrating into the wider world.

As a group of schools, we are committed to providing the highest-quality education to families in Vietnam and to promoting positive attributes and attitudes amongst our students so that they are well prepared for the trend of globalization without any barriers of language, culture, knowledge or skills.
“There will be a great deal of things we need to work on together, so that only the best educational models will be shared and spread out more and more. In front of us, there is still a long way ahead with lots of challenges. But it will be an exciting journey, full of happiness and pride. Since we believe this path will lead us to the very destination of our dreams and aspirations: a proper Vietnam, stepping up to the hall of glory, proudly standing side by side with other developed countries in the world.”

Established in 2018 by Quynh Nguyen, Nguyen Art Foundation (NAF) was born from a desire to better serve the artistic community of Vietnam. Acting as a branching support structure, NAF expands the possibilities for contemporary art in Vietnam by facilitating artistic and intellectual exchange through our Collection, Exhibitions, Education and Public Programs, and Development Projects, in the hope that such initiatives will not only enrich individual practices but also promote the overall growth of our local art scene.
Our Collection focuses on artists connected in any way to Vietnam and refuses to limit artists by a definition of identity that is restricted to nationality, instead prioritizing their practice, experimentation, and criticality as defining factors. The Collection thus features work from both Vietnamese and foreign artists, enlarging the definition of what can be considered “art from Vietnam”.

With education at the core of our values, NAF partners with the EMASI Schools and Renaissance International School Saigon, embedding artworks into the students’ daily life by featuring its Collection and hosting thematic exhibitions, both across different campuses and in dedicated art spaces. NAF aspires to connect with and offer students, as well as our local audience, a chance to engage with groundbreaking forms of artistic production from Vietnam and beyond.
“I have been collecting art since 1995, and over the years, this passion has gradually grown into a profound commitment, becoming a central influence in my life. In 2014, after spending a few years in Houston, Texas, I decided to open the International Modern Art Gallery to showcase the works of Vietnamese artists to a new audience in the US. During my time there, I was very much inspired by different private collections and public museums, and how their exhibitions and education programs could attract, educate, and inspire diverse audiences. I wanted the same for Vietnam one day, and so in 2018, Nguyen Art Foundation was founded.”
