This study aims to investigate the impact of Chief Executive Officer’s (CEO) personality on firm performance in Vietnam. The study investigates sample data collected from 120 firms listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) during the period from 2009 to 2015 with a total of 840 observations. The findings show that CEO’s age and equity ownership could have a nonlinear impact on firm performance. Besides, firms with CEO duality are likely to perform better than firms that CEO does not hold a position of duality
