Work Experience

Upon returning to Thailand, she joined Dhipaya Insurance Public Company Limited, where she served as the Acting Manager of the Oil and Gas Insurance Department.
In 1986, Chadatip joined Siam Center and Siam Piwat Group in 1986, initially as an accounting manager responsible for revenue management. She later took on responsibilities for all sales and promotions at Siam Center. This experience provided her with comprehensive knowledge of the company’s operations and the retail industry at large. It allowed her to understand the challenges faced by customers visiting the shopping center while also building relationships with business partners and tenants.
In 1996, Chutrakul was appointed as Managing Director, and later in 2009, she became the Chief Executive Officer of Siam Piwat Group. Under her leadership, the company launched several significant projects. In 2005, Siam Paragon opened as a world-class shopping center with the tagline “The Pride of Bangkok,” boasting over 550,000 square meters of floorspace. In 2013, Siam Center underwent a complete renovation and was relaunched as “Siam Center - The Ideopolis,” positioned as a hub of innovative ideas. Subsequently, in 2016, Siam Discovery underwent a transformation and was reintroduced as “The Exploratorium - Siam Discovery” – Thailand’s first lifestyle specialty store.
Subsequently, Siam Piwat expanded its portfolio with two major projects. In 2018, the company launched ICONSIAM, a 54-billion-baht development on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, which was marketed as “The Next Global Destination.” This was followed by the opening of Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok in 2020.
Under Chadatip’s leadership, Siam Piwat Group has experienced rapid and continuous growth. The group currently comprises 48 subsidiaries across various business sectors, including shopping centers, office buildings, department stores, convention and exhibition centers, digital platforms integrating offline and online customer experiences, facility management, marketing communications, and retail operations.
Vision and Leadership
[edit]Under Chadatip’s leadership, Siam Piwat operates with the vision of being “The Visionary Icon,” which focuses on sustainable business growth and creating shared value for all stakeholders, including co-creation partners, suppliers, communities, and society. Under this vision, Siam Piwat aims to contribute to the creative economy, improve the quality of life for Thai people, and enhance Thailand’s reputation globally.
Siam Piwat is also guided by the “Collaborate to Win” vision, which places emphasis on business partnerships with industry experts to foster mutual growth and opportunities. This collaborative approach extends from offline experiences to digital platforms, as exemplified by ONESIAM SuperApp. This digital platform integrates offerings from Siam Piwat’s four shopping centers: Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and ICONSIAM and features over 1,000 domestic and international partner brands to deliver what the company describes as “The Universe of Extraordinary Experiences.”
During Chadatip’s tenure, Siam Piwat has adopted what it calls an “Above the Ocean Strategy.” This approach focuses on operating beyond market fluctuations, forging partnerships to minimize competition, and creating a business ecosystem for sustainable success. With this strategy, the company aims to develop new opportunities across various dimensions and foster a sense of pride among all stakeholder segments, including society and the nation.
