The Orange County Business Journal selected Hoang as one of the award winners because, "Phu Hoang has overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges to build a strong business and life in Orange County. Phu is a leader that has demonstrated laser focus and vision to develop and grow a company that filled a void in a then emerging technology market.  He has grown Virtium from virtually nothing - a card table in the living room.  Today, the company he has guided is a recognized leader in the solid state storage and memory technology space, serving some of the world's largest companies such as GE, IBM, Intel and Motorola."
