My 20 years in Thailand’s recruitment scene

Can you believe it? It’s almost unreal that it was back on 1^st October 2003 that I started my executive search and recruitment career at Grant Thornton in Thailand.

Thank you Ian and Clayton for getting me started on this amazing journey. 

I also offer a big hand to staff, colleagues, my personal assistants over the years, researchers and consultants. You have worked hard to make our brands recognized as some of the very best in the recruitment and consulting profession.

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. And I’m pleased that I still keep in touch with so many of you. 

It’s even more pleasing for me to see how many have moved on and up to their own incredible careers and ventures, both in Thailand and overseas. 

Ending this small intro, must of course be to acknowledge the hundreds of client companies and the many thousands of candidates that I’ve had the pleasure to serve. A big thank you.

What about the next 20 years?

We are in very good hands and have for years been a partner in NPAworldwide. We are now 7 offices in Thailand out of 550 offices around the world.

NPAworldwide is the biggest recruitment network in the world with its headquarters located in Michigan, USA.

Thank you to my staff in Thailand and to thousands of NPAworldwide colleagues. 

😍You make my day – every day.
