Not much in common, I know. I just like building technology companies, and I like them best when they change how people live.
About
I was born and raised in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in a family of doctors. I went a different way: economics, a doctorate, then companies. I still ended up around surgeons and skin; I just arrived with a cap table instead of a stethoscope. Home is Carmel, Indiana, with my wife Candy and our two boys, Hugo and Toby.
I build companies because I want to change the world a little, test myself against problems that don't care about my résumé, and change the fortunes of the people who build them with me. Most of what I know about strategy, venture building and money I first taught from a textbook. Running companies is where I found out which parts were true.
Teaching is the part of the work I love most. I taught at Kelley across two stints, ten years in all, and left twice, in 2017 and in 2026. Each time I called it a sabbatical with unusually high stakes. I will be back in the classroom before long, with better material and more to share than any textbook gave me.

The silverware my companies brought home.

01
No two skeletons are alike, so we stopped pretending implants should be. OsseoVision, our design software, starts from the patient's own scan and ends with a part shaped for that one body, printed layer by layer from metal powder under a laser. Titanium when the part should stay for life. Magnesium when it should quietly dissolve as the bone heals, so a child never needs a second operation.

Most skincare is made for a bathroom mirror. Moment of Youth is made for the lineup at dawn, the chairlift and the long drive home. A balm stick and recovery pads, built on a hyaluronic nanogel a scientific co-founder invented, made to hold moisture at the skin's surface through a day of sun, salt and wind. Nothing to fuss with. Put it on and go back out.

Most skincare stops at the front door. The active is fine; it just never gets past the surface. Nabsolute built HyaSphereX to fix that: hyaluronic acid that, dissolved in water, gathers itself into soft spheres small enough to carry an active down into the skin, where it can work. Brands formulate with it rather than around it. Sold to Dr.PONG in November 2025.

We built the Volta in Bangkok, Thailand's first electric motorcycle engineered from the ground up: battery, motor and controller, all our own. Then the platform that followed, certified for Europe. Today that platform rides under Iso, the historic Italian marque owned by the Lamborghini family. A name like that is not lent to engineering its owners do not trust. Edison was acquired by Giken Mobility in 2021.
Side Projects
Work that did not fit inside a company, so it got its own bench: drug delivery, dermatology, skincare, mobility, industrial AI and education, each held to the standard its field expects, not the one a side project is forgiven.
A sugar the skin already knows, grafted with a natural polyamine, so DNA and RNA can enter a cell without a virus or a lipid.
StealthA plant-derived active in a thermoresponsive nanogel, tested head to head against 1% hydrocortisone in a randomized split-side trial of 30 adults.
StealthA brand brings a brief. The studio returns a finished formula, with the delivery built in.
StealthBrake calipers printed in titanium for high-end bicycles and motorcycles, lighter and stiffer than anything machined from a block.
StealthWater-based intimate serums and glides, made to feel like skin and stay that way, with a biopolymer rather than silicone doing the work.
StealthSoftware that learns a machine's failure signature from its own sensors and calls the downtime before it happens, no resident specialist required.
LicensedA strength-finder test that matches a seventeen-year-old to the degree programs and careers that fit, before the choice gets made for them.
LicensedTeaching
I teach because explaining something to a room of twenty-year-olds is the quickest way to learn whether you understand it. I was Visiting Assistant Professor of Business Economics at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, from 2010 to 2017 and from 2023 to 2026, teaching strategy, game theory, money and economic consulting to undergraduates and MBAs. In between I ran companies, where the lecture notes were corrected. I left in 2026 and intend to be back with better material and a longer list of what the textbook got wrong.
What I taught at Kelley.
And five more, from introductory business to MBA strategy.
Beyond Kelley: visiting and adjunct teaching at Thammasat's law and business schools, a faculty post at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, and executive programs for Thai Post and the Expressway Authority of Thailand. Earlier, a volunteer program I co-founded prepared more than 10,000 rural Thai students for university entrance.
Thoughts
Let's Talk
I like meeting people who are building something hard, and I invest in some of them. I also take board and advisory seats, speak on venture building and medtech, and teach whenever someone hands me a classroom.
