Untold Story No. 14 by Mr. Francois Schwennicke: BEYOND THE IMAGE on 9 Oct 2026

Dear YPO Vietnam & YPO Vietnam Gold Members,

For the 14th episode of our Untold Story series, Francois opens a chapter he has kept private: growing up inside a long-established Belgian family business, the weight of legacy, the doubts along the way, and the path that brought him to Vietnam 17 years ago, where he continues to build his family and life today.

Behind Francois’s familiar warmth and elegance is a personal journey shaped by responsibility, expectations, and the choices that come with carrying a family legacy forward.

If you have ever carried a family business, a family name, or an image others expect of you, this afternoon is for you. Come to listen, and come ready to recognize your own story in his.

An intimate room of 30, in the safe haven spirit of the Untold Story series.
