Industry : Business

As a law graduate, and one of the youngest female Thai Tech leaders, she has proven herself as a CEO of a company that has successfully launched many digital products for numerous clients ranging from startups to large enterprises. She believes that the key to good leadership is to help others achieve good performance with a kind heart. She is also a consultant at UNCTAD, a part time lecturer at Mahidol University, and a mentor at Bascii, Chulalongkorn University. Balancing four jobs and family life as mother of two children as well as an active social life, her secret is to concentrate on the love and joy in life that extends to those around her. Her aim is to be able to help other people have a better quality of life by using technology, but she also hopes to increase awareness and knowledge on user experience (UX), and build a great digital product. An outdoor girl at heart, she is an avid golfer and sailor, and an aspiring artist. She would love to see more green space in the country, and more collaboration between the private sector and the government.
