Speaker

Anh Dao Pham

Anh Dao Pham, has successfully led technical projects for two decades at start-ups, major corporations, and as a consultant. Anh is currently Vice President, Product & Program Management at Edmunds. She has been integral to virtually every major product development initiative in the last ten years, including the projects that led to the acquisition of CarCodeSMS by Edmunds (2014) and the acquisition of Edmunds by CarMax (2021). She was the recipient of two peer-nominated awards for her work—the Edmunds V12 Award (2013) and a Blueboard Award (2017). At her ten-year anniversary, Anh was described as someone who exemplifies servant leadership. “So while her list of personal accomplishments is impressive,” her boss shared, “you will never see her shine the spotlight on herself. So it is fitting that what she is best known for at Edmunds has been the consistent ability to help those around her achieve at their highest potential.”
