Episode 31 - Narongchai Wongthanavimo, Group CFO, Dusit Thani Plc - a podcast by Mass Participation World

We start this week's Aid Station in Bangkok, Thailand, where we meet  Narongchai Wongthanavimok who has achieved amazing things in both  running and business.



 Narongchai is an Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star runner and on the  business front has held roles as CFO of Thai Airways and the Dusit  Thani Group. His running story is an amazing transition from an  unhealthy overweight executive to completing all of the Majors in two  years.



He has well and truly caught the bug and was supposed to  run Tokyo, Berlin and Chicago this year. When I caught up with him on  Friday he had returned home from a gall bladder operation the day before  and was itching to get back on the road.



He shared how  Covid-19 had made him recogise the need to pause. "I have been very  focused on work and have put this operation off for some time." In fact  he is taking it a step further and is currently winding down his role  with Dusit to take a step back and consider his next chapter.



 Listen for his leadership tips including the importance of listening to  all stakeholders before making decisions that address both macro and  micro considerations. "It's the art of balancing between  high-level/overall knowledge and detail/action-oriented knowledge"
