Cam-Thach L. Tran, Consultant
Cam-Thach brings more than 7 years of business management and logistics experience to DB&A.

Cam-Thach believes that organizations can learn from Charles Darwin: "‘It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.’ I believe the same applies to organizations. Leaders of industries must have courage and embrace change in order to grow and thrive. I am eager to apply what I've learned, both academically and professionally, to help motivate leaders to seize opportunities to adapt and grow, especially when it is not easy to do so.”

“What attracted me to DB&A was the opportunity to grow as a professional in my career,” said Ben. “I had been a manager for two different organizations, and this was an opportunity, in my mind, to take the next step and be able to help companies effectively manage their managers.
What I like about working here is the team-centered thinking when it comes to coaching clients. As a new person, it has been great to get support for coaching from the team and how I am going to do it, while at the same time, be a part of the ‘think-tank’ group when someone else needs the same support.”
