What We Do
Expertise Across Vietnam’s Operating Risk
Vietnam rewards those who move first and punishes those who move blind, so building resilience against that risk is essential in a market that moves quickly.
NEX exists because risk in Vietnam rarely arrives through a single door, whether that means a stalled licence, an unverified supplier, a disrupted shipment, an executive exposed while travelling, or a family that needs a plan. Directed personally, end-to-end, and drawing on a military background in crisis management and criminology, our expertise spans site and facility assessments, business continuity planning, crisis response, the planning of fine art and precious asset movements, counterparty due diligence, integrity protocols for sensitive appointments, insider-risk governance, travel risk planning for executives, risk and safety coordination, and administrative and regulatory navigation, met as one coordinated engagement rather than separate vendors.
European manufacturers weighing a new site, maisons and galleries moving pieces that cannot be replaced, insurers managing their own operations in Vietnam, law firms assessing a client’s exposure, and expatriate families planning for the unexpected all work with a single point of contact and one standard of execution, from first assessment to last mile.
Expertise Overview
Administrative & Regulatory Risk
Getting Unstuck When Everyone Else Is Stuck
A blocked file is where we start. When a licence, permit or application has stalled and every channel has gone silent, we reconstruct its history, identify the point of blockage and prepare, with our partner law firm, a precise and documented response. The same method applies from day one to company formation, licensing and work permits: we prepare and coordinate, and licensed professionals act wherever the law requires them to.
Expertise Overview
Risk Assessment
Seeing the Risk Before You Sign
Every site, facility, or residence carries risk that isn’t visible on a floor plan or a lease. Our assessments identify exposure before it becomes a loss, so our clients invest, relocate, or expand with the full picture, not half of it.
Expertise Overview
Duty of Care
Preparing Them, Then Standing By Them
Exposure doesn’t stop at the office door. It travels with the people who represent you, and it can begin before someone is even appointed. We design the integrity protocol your HR team applies before a sensitive appointment, help you put in place insider-risk governance run by your own teams, plan executive travel risks before departure, and coordinate risk and safety programmes delivered by licensed providers. The people who carry your name are prepared, and your organization knows what to do if something goes wrong.
Expertise Overview
Business Continuity
Supply chains break, and disruption rarely announces itself in advance. We keep operations running through disruption with continuity plan and resilience reviews, not stalled until someone notices.
Expertise Overview
Crisis Management
Deciding Well When Time Is Short
The businesses that recover fastest are the ones that rehearsed the crisis first. We plan, run executive exercises, and support you through the incident itself, so the first decision isn’t also the first time anyone thought about it.
Expertise Overview
Precious Assets & Fine Art
Shaped by Fine Art. Suited to Anything of Value
Some pieces can’t be insured back into existence. For maisons, jewelers and watchmakers, auction houses, galleries and family offices, we plan each movement in confidence, from the route and the sequence to every hand-over, and coordinate licensed carriers, packers and custodians, so that you keep one plan and one discreet point of contact from vault to destination.
Sector Experience
Every Sector Carries Its Own Risk
European manufacturers, insurers, law firms, and expatriate families don’t face the same exposure. We bring dedicated expertise to each sector rather than a general playbook.
