Hiep is the founder and visionary of Amare. He finds great meaning in coaching, mentoring and empowering people to succeed.

Hiep’s commitment to excellence and integrity in all areas of the business is a constant emphasis to the entire Amare team. He believes that great products will make a difference, but an entire holistic platform of products, programs and a community of people supporting each other will change lives.
