About

With a background rooted in the RFID industry in Thailand and extended to the global arena, I've had the privilege to serve as a Head of Business Development for 15 years. My journey in this role has taught me the intricacies of IP and product development, right from its nascent stage to its full-fledged implementation. In the ever-evolving landscape of business, I've had opportunities to identify and cultivate potential, strategize business development frameworks, and ensure business development activities align with corporate goals. Collaborative efforts with both business and engineering teams have enriched my professional experience, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and united objectives. Furthermore, my involvement in venture building has provided insights into the intricate world of startups, especially within the deep tech sector. Balancing multiple accounts and navigating the challenges of high-tech environments while ensuring team efficiency has been a rewarding part of my journey, and I continue to embrace every opportunity with an open mind and a commitment to growth.
