Houston-based Energy Capital Vietnam (ECV), a project development and holding company has appointed retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael D. Barbero to the organization’s advisory board.

ECV was established as a platform for direct investment into energy and infrastructure within Vietnam.

“Lieutenant General Barbero’s nearly four decades in the military, including some of the highest posts in the Pentagon, is the kind of experience, expertise, and expansive world view that is invaluable to our Advisory Board,” said David Lewis, chairman and CEO of ECV. “Mike’s post-military experience advising energy and construction corporate leaders is a welcome addition to our team.”

Barbero joins former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius and retired Adm. Samuel J. Lockhart III on the advisory board.
