Lan Tran

Lan Tran is co-founder of Be Savvy, a workforce capability intervention focused on converting under-translated experience into retained, redeployable, AI-ready talent.

With a background in anthropology and three decades in commercial roles, she operates across asset-intensive industries including energy, mining and defence — working in environments where incentives, governance settings and risk posture determine whether initiatives progress or stall.

She operates across decision layers — where executive intent meets operational reality — to drive technology uptake.

Her perspective is grounded in practice, including her work with EXTAG supporting visibility of frontline assets through structured field data, and her ongoing role as a fractional Chief Relationship Officer in strategic, long-cycle, relationship-driven markets.

Her core view: the constraint isn’t people, it’s how organisations enable them, often undermined by misalignment, poor communication and ingrained behaviours.
