Leadership Announcement: New Managing Director at Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Thailand

Starting January 2, 2025, Khun Songsin Sugkhawaetai, a seasoned professional in the ingredients distribution industry, has joined as new Managing Director of Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients Thailand (JJIT). With over 30 years of experience in the chemical and nutrition ingredients sector, including more than a decade in senior leadership roles, Khun Songsin, also known as Tom, is exceptionally well-positioned to lead JJIT into its next chapter of growth and innovation.

Khun Songsin holds a degree in Science and an MBA from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. His strong technical expertise, extensive network, and proven leadership in driving growth and fostering partnerships make him an ideal fit for JJIT’s dynamic team.

During the handover period from January to March 2025, Mr. Paul Chan, who has served as Managing Director since 2014, will continue to share the role alongside Khun Songsin. This ensures a seamless transition as Khun Songsin connects with the team, customers, and partners while benefiting from Mr. Chan’s guidance and support.

Reflecting on the leadership transition, Ms. Lim Siew Tin, CEO of the Ingredients Business Unit, shared:

"Khun Songsin is an energetic person with a considerable network and technical expertise, making him a perfect match for JJIT. I am delighted to have him onboard."

Ms. Lim also expressed her gratitude for Mr. Paul Chan’s impactful leadership over the past decade:

"During his tenure with JJIT, Paul has been instrumental in overseeing a number of important projects that shaped the strategic direction of the Ingredients BU in Jebsen & Jessen Thailand and beyond. I am deeply grateful for his partnership and friendship and wish him all the best as he embarks on his next chapter."

Khun Songsin echoed optimism in his personal message:

"It is an honour to join an organisation renowned for its strong values, innovative solutions, and commitment to excellence. My priority is to connect with each of you, learn from your insights, and work together to continue delivering exceptional value to our customers and partners."

As Mr. Chan prepares to step down at the end of March 2025 to relocate to the UK, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for his outstanding leadership and warmly welcome Khun Songsin to the Jebsen & Jessen family. Together, we look forward to an exciting new chapter of growth and collaboration.
