Our Team

We are a small team of individuals passionate about education and social equity

Champ Suthipongchai

Co-Founder and
Chief Financial Officer Lead

Hi, I am a Co-Founder and a Chief-Financial Officer at Matilda Foundation. My other role is a co-founder and general partner at Creative Ventures, a Deep Tech venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley, California. 
I consider myself an avid martial artist and have been practicing for more than 15 years. I believe in hunger, because hunger is what it takes to create breakthroughs. I also realise that, at some point, in order to be happy, I also need to learn to let hunger go and simply enjoy life. I’m learning how to do that at the moment. Outside of startup investing and practicing my arts, I enjoy getting my ass kick by my two cats.

Here is my pick, a momentous scene from Real Steel. This is what I mean by hunger.

Orn Orpong

Projects Advisor

Hi, this is Orn. My background is in operational field which now solidifies and synergizes the working multi-office working cultures. I strongly believe in mind of understanding which is the foundation of love. With the most powerful kind of this energy people will listen more, empathize and never give up to seek the connection in differences leading to the real happiness and long-term support.

The 52-hertz whale, my pick. I feel connected with both ends right away when I see this picture. The diver is always here for this solitary whale and feels him. I also find myself in here, that reflects who I am now and who I need to be

Ta Saowaros

Director of Operation and Projects

Hi my name is Ta, and I’m a Director of Operation and Projects at Matilda Foundation.

 

My career background is in HR administration and now I am a proud member of the Matilda team.
I believe in human’s goodness and enjoy seeing people supporting each other. I also believe that everyone can change their life for the better. And education is one of the ways that enable us to do so.

I am an introvert who loves cats and nature. I am grateful for all of the blessings in my life and for the opportunity to love others and to be loved. I selected my baby cat’s picture as my favorite because everything about her is my favorite. And her overloaded cuteness can always light up my days.

Drew Suthipongchai

Co-founder and Managing Director

Hi, I am a co-founder and a managing director at Matilda foundation. My background is in politics and economics, and I believe strongly in contributing to an equitable society. I value determination and dedication, and I think each individual has a duty to the society they live in, and can contribute one way or another. I have had the chance to receive kindness from many people through my life journey, and this is part of my #payitforward journey.

Here is my favourite photo. It made my favourite list because one, it was taken by the sea – the place I love the most; and two the hands that form a songbird represents freedom, a privilege everyone should have access to.
