Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Chou was born in 1979 in a remote area of Takeo province. His childhood had no dream and he grew without clear future objective, but he can reach new height today due to his unwavering effort. “Always explore opportunity for life, do not wait for opportunity to come to you” is his word to share with young Khmer generation. His teenager’s life was the most beautiful and challenging time and brought a lot of sweet memories, particularly friends at Bati high school. He is a Consultant/Microfinance Manager at USAID/HARVEST Program and a former Senior Management Team at one leading Microfinance Institution – namely AMK MFI. Prior to joining AMK, he was a Senior Business Analyst at Emerging Markets Consulting (EMC), a leading regional consulting firm, which actively involved in many consulting projects for the World Bank, UNDP, USAID/DAI, Israeli Embassy, AusAID and few leading MFIs on strategic advisory. He holds BA in Philosophy, BBA in Marketing, MBA in Management and Executive Education Program on Strategic Leadership for Microfinance from Harvard University, Boston, USA.
