She thrives in entrepreneurial environments and is known for her strategic thinking, governance, and leadership skills.

This has been the guiding principle of her career that, yields positive results across multiple industries and economies.

Event Patron: Suebpong Charoenmechaikul
Executive Director, BridgeAsia & Founding Board Member, Aetria
Suebpong is Khun Jeep's friend who shares her passion for impact investing. At BridgeAsia, his teams help leading organizations execute strategy and build organizational capability to transform and adapt to the ever-changing business landscape.
Suebpong is also a Founding Board Member at Aetria, a health systems design and data platform technology social enterprise.
He believes that accessible and affordable health and well-being are fundamental human rights. Working with top teaching hospitals has helped Suebpong realize that much more can be done to help make the health and well-being ecosystem more equitable, accessible, and affordable by adopting new perspectives, strategies, people motivation and engagement, and technologies. That inspired the creation of Aetria, under the joint stewardship of Ashoka Fellow Social Entrepreneur Dr. Kongkiat Kespetchara and Singapore Exchange (SGX) Listed Company Executive Jeannie Ong, to transform health and well-being systems in Thailand, and perhaps around the world, using data-informed solution platforms.
