Thein Win Zaw

Thein Win Zaw was born on February 2, 1963, in Twante Township, Yangon Region, Myanmar. He completed his high school studies in 1978–79, and later pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry in 1984. Thein Win Zaw is married to Tin Latt Min, and has two children, Win Paing Kyaw and Theint Win Htet. The family members together own at least 20 companies. Tin Latt Min's mother was the teacher of Tha Aye, a general. ==Career==

Zaw established Manaw Thidar, the first company under the Shwe Byain Phyu (SBP) Group in 1996. Thein Win Zaw's business success has been attributed to his close relationship with the Myanmar Armed Force's senior leadership, including the Myanmar Navy commanders-in-chief Tin Aung San and Soe Thane, acting president Myint Swe, and Thein Aung, the father of Zaw Hein, a general. In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Singapore-based Investcom Pte Ltd, a joint venture between the Lebanese M1 Investment Group and Myanmar's Shwe Byain Phyu conglomerate, acquired Telenor Myanmar in March 2022. Following the acquisition, concerns about ties to the Myanmar military and data privacy emerged. However, in April 2022, the new parent company addressed these concerns, committing to uphold the data privacy policies of its predecessor. ATOM Myanmar was launched in June 2022. ==References==
