Panjarat Kaewchai

I started my career path off in hospitality business as guest service officer at The Metropolitan Bangkok and At Your Service Agent at JW Marriott Bangkok. These work experiences had groomed me to have a service mind and had trained me to become professional at work places.

My present years with DSS Sustainable Solutions (Thailand) Co., Ltd. formerly DuPont Sustainable Solutions, since 2017 have been a great source of learning. As a Business Support, I get to explore myself to several functions, for example, Finance, Business Development, Secretary, HR, Purchasing, Office Management, IT, and also People Engagement. I have excelled in D365 in order to manage project billing, invoices, and purchasing orders.

Also I have an opportunity to collaborate with management team and suppliers to build up a brand new office.

My years with Thomson Reuters as an Executive Assistant had taught me how to prioritize and to keep confidentiality. To handle calendar of my direct manager was challenging as time zone was the critical factor. Also to internally market, and present our business unit to the whole company was a great opportunity to engage to different teams of such an global corporation.

Moreover, I process excellent English communications with 855 TOEIC scores, full of positive energy and out-going personality, fast learning, independent, available to travel up-country & abroad, and proactive working style with can-do attitudes.

Computer skill: Microsoft Office, Dynamic 360, Salesforce, SAP, CRM, Mac proficiency, VideoScribe, Sharepoint, Powerapp.

On my spare time, you will find me on a yoga mat practicing yoga asanas.
