Bob Vu ’05 has a real knack for business, which is overshadowed only by his love of people. After graduating with a degree in business administration from California State University, Fullerton in 1996, Bob honed his entrepreneurial skills by founding a start-up technology company that provides IT services for future
“smart houses”. Bob also has ten years of experience as an educator for many public institutions, helping adult learners, especially recent immigrants, with language problems while directing them toward the path of higher education. A true professional, Bob worked 15 years in IT project management, corporate financial system integration and engineering, working in a multitude of industries before he decided to take his career to the next level with a Chapman University Executive Master of Business Administration degree (EMBA).

Bob became heavily involved with the Chapman EMBA program, quickly rising to a position of leadership even before he earned his degree. While still a student, Bob participated in the Distinguished Speaker Series hosted by the George L. Argyros School of Business, traveled to Mexico and China through the EMBA program, and traveled to Washington, D.C. to lobby for national security legislation. Bob also coordinated several events for members of Chapman’s 2005 EMBA class, as well as organizing a luncheon meeting with fellow MBA students.

An aficionado of music and culture, Bob enjoys the many cultural events offered by Chapman, which has blossomed into a strong interest in perpetuating the success of the institution through his own altruistic spirit. The goal, according to Bob, is to invest his efforts and talents in the future for the benefit of all alumni and students.

Bob recently co-founded Geo-Integrations, an integration, bpo (business process outsourcing), logistics and supply chain management corporation.
