Experience
1. Sustainability consulting 🧠
I provide consultancy to various corporate clients across services. For example, I conducted impact assessments on GHG emissions, energy, and water consumption for a large Thai beverage firm and a packaging manufacturer (SME). I also support them in developing their ESG strategies.
Together with my colleagues, I provided various consultancy services, such as impact assessment and strategy development, to governments and firms.
Key achievements: Established corporate sustainability vision and roadmap for clients. Executed supply-chain impact analysis and mapping for clients.
At the Dutch consultancy & think tank, I conducted research and managed projects on urban circularity, circular procurement, and circular business model development. :
Key achievements: The WWF reports on Thailand’s plastic packaging flow and proposed EPR scheme have been studied and referenced by the team that is proposing the EPR policy in Thailand. The Rotterdam City Government developed its circularity strategy, outlining steps based on our work.
As part of my Master's program (consultancy project), my team and I conducted research to identify a suitable circular business model for a Dutch mobile phone company, Fairphone, together with the Community of Practice on Circular Finance. We developed an analytical framework to distinguish different circular business model archetypes by a set of criteria.
Through stakeholder interviews with B2B customers, we refined a suitable business model that balances the customers’ preferences and the company’s vision. The recommendation was used to support the development of the “Fairphone-as-a-Service” financial model.
I assisted Dr. Mattijs Smiths’s research on linking low-carbon cities (LCC) to carbon markets, funded by the World Bank. Together with his team, I supported the primary data collection through interviews and translation with local communities in Bangkok. The data was later triangulated through a multi-stakeholder workshop.
At Thailand’s first research firm on sustainable business, I led two research projects. One is the corporate accountability assessment of Thailand’s top-10 energy firms based on sustainability reports, compliance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, and stakeholder interviews, including NGOs & affected communities (🔗). Another is the sustainability assessment of the agricultural practices of 500 sugarcane farmers based on the BONSUCRO standard through semi-structured interviews and surveys.
Key achievements: Many research projects have proven to be impactful, which led to meaningful dialogues by thought leaders and the media. The company later published a book criticizing the energy sector built upon our project ( 🔗).
2. Post-growth advocacy ✊
RCTH is Thailand’s first civil society initiative dedicated to advancing the Circular Economy, focused on repairing and pushing for the national Right-to-Repair policy. RCTH is currently working on these projects:

Key achievements: RCTH is currently the only member in the Thailand Circular Economy Network that represents product repair. We play an advisory role in the development of Thailand’s first Circular Economy Act in the network.
I co-founded Reviv Community, a social entrepreneur that promoted textile product repair and upcycling through product/service development and collaboration with brands. We worked together with an ethnic refugee community that specializes in hand-sewing.
3. Sustainability education ✍️
I deliver public speaking and education sessions on sustainability topics, including talks, panel discussions, guest lectures, and workshops. Below are some organizations I gave public speaking to:
As part of the CIRCO initiative, I have delivered circular business design training across the packaging and textile sectors to over 20 companies, several of which successfully implemented circular strategies as a result. The training included life-cycle thinking, value chain mapping, identifying circular opportunities, and designing potential circular business ideas.
4. Program manager 👔
I developed and managed Thailand’s first Single-Pitch Instructor (SPI) course & certification program for TCDA, a non-profit association founded in 2016 with a mission to foster an inclusive and responsible climbing community and promote safe climbing areas that respect natural conservation in Thailand. The goal of the program is to establish a local climbing standard that adheres to the international standard for Thailand.

5. Climbing instructor ⛰️
Unbound Climbing Academy (UCA) is a collective of experienced and passionate climbers dedicated to teaching and empowering youth through rock climbing, offering bilingual sessions in the gym and outdoor environment.
I work as a freelance instructor for the school’s rock climbing class (ECA), guiding students from nursery to high school level. My role involves teaching safety practices, gear usage, climbing techniques, and etiquette. This ensures that they are well-equipped to climb safely and confidently beyond the school’s environment.
