Special Assistant to the President
Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand

With over 15 years of experience in higher education, I've been privileged to witness and drive the transformation in how we approach learning and institution management in the 21st century. Currently serving at the esteemed Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Bangkok, my journey has ranged from university administration to strategic roles in outreach and global partnership development. As a fervent advocate for the intersection of Technology, Management, and Education, I am instrumental in ushering AIT into its next transformation phase in the Artificial Intelligence era.

As the Special Assistant to the President for Marketing and Recruitment at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), I leverage my communication, leadership, and analytical skills for developing and implementing effective strategies to attract talented students from across the region and beyond. I also oversee the outreach, rankings, and accreditation activities of the School of Management, where I serve as the Executive Assistant to the Dean. I am also involved in several initiatives and projects that aim to foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence at AIT.

I'm a Ph.D. scholar in Management looking into the future of Higher Education in the era of Artificial Intelligence.
