Shannon Kalayanamitr

Shannon is an entrepreneur and investor with over 25 years of experience. Her track record includes co-founding Orami, Southeast Asia's pioneering women's e-commerce platform, through to its successful exit, and being part of the founding team at Lazada Thailand. 

She currently serves as Chief Growth Officer at 6ty Degrees Functional Mineral Water and is Venture Partner at HIVE Ventures. She is also Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of The CrestHaus, a platform advancing executive women's leadership across Asia-Pacific, and serves as Independent Director and Audit Committee member at Pi Securities Public Company Limited, a leading Stock Exchange of Thailand-listed brokerage in Thailand. She also channels her independent ventures through Ikigai Group, her own venture platform.

Shannon's operating experience spans both sides of the table — the entrepreneurial and the institutional. She began her career at PwC and Lehman Brothers before becoming the youngest-ever Director of International Corporate Planning at Singha/Boonrawd Brewery, leading expansion across 44 countries. Her board seat at Pi Securities extends that institutional thread into the present, giving her an active line of sight into public-market governance alongside her venture and operating work. 

Shannon is a Shark on Shark Tank Thailand and a global speaker at the UN, in Davos, Fortune Most Powerful Women and various stages across the world. Throughout her career, she has been an avid advocate for women in entrepreneurship, business, investment and most importantly — in life.
