Find your tribe and surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Growing up gay in a traditional Catholic, Asian household, Trung T. Tieu faced challenges in expressing his identity. It took time for him to come out to his family and loved ones. But once he did, he embraced his truth wholeheartedly. Throughout his career journey, Trung found alignment between his passion for representation and his interest in supply chain and business while actively participating in LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Networks (ERNs). Today, as the supplier diversity manager at Wells Fargo, Trung is a sought-after leader driving innovative approaches to diversity and inclusion in the supply chain. He emphasizes the importance of curiosity, open-mindedness, and authenticity in effecting positive change. This June, as we celebrate Pride Month, we are excited to explore Trung's inspiring journey in supplier diversity and corporate leadership. He encourages everyone to embrace curiosity and authenticity, believing that we all have the power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.
