Celebrating Women of Impact on International Women's Day in Thailand

Honoring trailblazing Thai women whose achievements are shaping industries and society.
As part of International Women's Day celebrations, 13 remarkable women in Thailand have been recognized for their transformative contributions across various sectors.

The Bangkok Post has launched the Women of the Year 2025 initiative to highlight these achievements, which take place against a global backdrop of increasing attention to gender equality and women’s empowerment.

This year’s recognition shines a light on leaders who are promoting progress and innovation.

The featured women exemplify resilience and dedication, notably including Siriwong Borvornboonrutai, Co-President of Finance and Accounting at B.Grimm Power Plc; Kantima Lerlertyuttitham, Group Chief Human Resources Officer at Advanced Info Service Plc; and Nooror Somany Steppe, Master Chef and founder of the Blue Elephant restaurant.

Siriwong Borvornboonrutai plays a pivotal role at B.Grimm Power, overseeing financial strategies that aim to expand the company’s global presence.

B.Grimm Power is set to increase its electricity supply from 4 gigawatts to 10 gigawatts by 2030, with a goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Siriwong emphasizes the importance of strategic geography in diversifying operations and mitigating geopolitical risks.

She supports the firm's global perspective in decision-making and has established criteria for financial performance targeting international renewable energy markets, particularly in Europe, North America, and Asia.

In the realm of technology and human resources, Kantima Lerlertyuttitham has made significant strides at Advanced Info Service Plc.

With over 25 years of experience, she has implemented policies to promote equality and accessibility to technology, exemplified by the establishment of the AIS Academy.

This initiative provides educational resources to both employees and the public, lowering barriers to digital literacy.

Under her direction, AIS has spearheaded various diversity and inclusion programs, earning recognition for its corporate commitment to social responsibility.

Chef Nooror Somany Steppe, known as a 'Thai Gastronomy Ambassador', has dedicated nearly 40 years to promoting Thai cuisine globally through her Blue Elephant restaurants.

The restaurant, first launched in Brussels, now spans multiple locations, including Bangkok and Copenhagen.

Chef Nooror is recognized for her contributions to culinary arts and has received accolades, including an honorary Master of Arts degree from Kasetsart University.

Her efforts to connect Thai culinary heritage with global audiences illustrate the interplay of cultural promotion and entrepreneurship.

Today’s featured women not only exemplify excellence in their respective fields but also serve as inspirational figures in driving social change.

Their achievements have been documented through a series of features published in print and online, accessible through the Bangkok Post’s website.
