Mr. Lertsavetpong is a business model design specialist with three decades of experience across every level of the enterprise — as an employee, a family business successor, and a company owner. That range is what shapes his approach — sustainability advisory that is grounded in how businesses actually operate, not just how they report.

He serves as strategic advisor to Thai SMEs as they reshape their business models around sustainable practice — work that positions them not only for compliance, but for genuine access to global markets that increasingly demand it.

He also leads Trick of the Trade, a Bangkok-based business growth consultancy, and is the author of the four-volume The Little Book of Business Series, with more than 50,000 copies sold.
