Steve Huy Trong Vu

I lead technology at Pizza 4P’s and work on the security problems that come with putting AI into production.

Seattle-born, based in Ho Chi Minh City.

What I work on

Tech leadership in F&B

SVP of Technology & Innovation at Pizza 4P’s, a restaurant group with about 50 stores in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Japan, and the US. I lead the RAIOS (Restaurant AI Operating System) vision: AI-enabled platforms that connect guests, kitchens, and operations.

Previously Director of Platform Engineering at Starbucks, with earlier roles at Disney and Microsoft. At Starbucks I moved software delivery from weeks to minutes by bringing in DevOps, and laid the groundwork for the SRE organization.

AI security

I work on the security problems that show up when companies put AI into production: data exposure, agent permissions, and governance that keeps pace with adoption.
