Chadatip Chutrakul

Chadatip Chutrakul, the daughter of Thai tourism pioneer Chalermchai Charuvastra, has led her father's retail empire as chief executive since his passing in 2009. In 1966, Siam Piwat opened Thailand's first international five-star hotel. In the six decades since, it's evolved from hospitality to a portfolio of 50 affiliates, spanning restaurants, department stores, and luxury malls. Chadatip is behind the brand's recent mega developments, including shopping mall Iconsiam.
