About
I am an operation-driven professional with more than 16 years of experience leading cross-functional teams, improving workflows, and managing construction and digital projects. My work focuses on organizing complex operations, coordinating stakeholders, and delivering high-quality results on time. I have founded and scaled two successful businesses—a web design company and a construction operations company—managing teams of up to 35 employees and annual budgets reaching ฿30M.
I value adaptability, problem-solving, and fostering collaborative team environments. I'm committed to establishing quality standards, communication frameworks, and operational processes that drive client retention and consistent project delivery excellence. My background spans web design and development, construction project coordination, HR operations, business development, and stakeholder relations, and I remain comfortable contributing at both strategic and hands-on operational levels.
I have led international operations across Thailand and Norway, managing cross-cultural teams and coordinating with diverse stakeholders including municipalities, business partners, and community leaders. I'm at my best in roles that demand strong leadership, operational expertise, and close cross-functional collaboration. Above all, I aim to help organizations deliver successful projects while fostering an environment of trust, quality, and shared success.
