Meet the People Behind Your Financial Journey
Our team combines decades of experience in financial planning, technology, and education to help Vietnamese families achieve their budget consolidation goals through practical, proven methods.
Our Core Team
Each team member brings unique expertise from different sectors of finance and technology. We've worked at major financial institutions, fintech startups, and educational organizations throughout Southeast Asia.
Thaddeus Chen
Lead Financial Strategist
Started his career at Vietnam's largest commercial bank before moving to fintech. Thaddeus spent eight years developing debt consolidation programs that helped over 12,000 families reduce their monthly payments by an average of 35%. His approach focuses on understanding each family's spending patterns rather than imposing rigid budgeting rules.
Miranda Kovač
Technology Director
Former software engineer at two major banking platforms in Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City. Miranda built the algorithms that power our budget consolidation recommendations. She noticed that most financial apps failed because they didn't account for Vietnamese spending habits – like seasonal festival expenses or extended family support obligations.

Rowan Castellano
Educational Content Lead
Economics professor turned financial educator who's been teaching personal finance courses in Vietnam since 2019. Rowan realized that traditional Western budgeting advice didn't work for Vietnamese families, so he developed culturally-adapted methods that consider multi-generational household expenses and informal income sources.
What Drives Our Work
We started Clever Origin Hub in 2023 after seeing too many Vietnamese families struggle with financial advice that ignored their actual lives. Most budgeting apps assume you have predictable income and simple expenses. That's not reality for most people here.

Long-term Focus
Quick fixes usually create bigger problems later. We help families build sustainable financial habits that work for decades, not just months.
