Deloitte Thailand announces new country managing partner
Deloitte Thailand announced that Metinee Jongsaliswang has succeeded Subhasakdi Krishnamra as Deloitte Thailand’s country managing partner (CMP).
Metinee, who was previously the Thailand and Myanmar country leader for Deloitte’s consulting business, assumed the new role on 1 October 2024.
Deloitte Thailand is part of the Deloitte Southeast Asia firm, and at present, the Deloitte Thailand practice comprises over 1,500 professionals, including more than 50 partners.
“I am honoured to be appointed as Deloitte Thailand’s next CMP. Deloitte is the world’s largest professional services organisation, and it is anchored on its purpose to make an impact that matters for its clients, people and communities. It is a privilege to serve in this capacity and work together with my colleagues to strengthen our positioning in Thailand, leveraging on our unique multi-disciplinary model that allows us to deliver seamless services to our clients across our business and industry offerings,” said Metinee.
“Under the leadership of Khun Subhasakdi, Deloitte Thailand has grown exponentially to be among the biggest professional services firms in the country. Building on this robust foundation, I am committed to harnessing the full potential of our capabilities to seize new opportunities and grow our share in the Thai market. By driving our clients’ growth and success, we will not only enhance their businesses but also contribute to the growth of the Thai economy.”
With Metinee’s appointment, Subhasakdi steps into an important new role as the non-executive chair of Deloitte Thailand.
Subhasakdi was the CMP of Deloitte Thailand for 22 years. He started his career with Deloitte in 1989 and has been with Deloitte for more than 35 years.
Deloitte Thailand has been serving public and private clients in the country for over 85 years. Under Subhasakdi’s leadership, the practice has experienced sixfold growth and has transformed from being a predominantly audit-focused business to be one of the largest professional services providers in Thailand.
“Metinee brings an exceptional depth of experience from her role as the country leader of our consulting business in Thailand and Myanmar that saw her work with major corporations across a variety of sectors. She is highly regarded by her clients for her expertise in competitive strategy and corporate finance, having successfully led some of the most complex advisory projects that involved large-scale transformation in Thailand and across Southeast Asia. With her clear vision and unwavering drive, I am confident that Metinee is uniquely positioned to elevate Deloitte Thailand’s position in the market,” said Subhasakdi.
“It has been an honour to serve as Deloitte Thailand’s CMP for the past 22 years, and I have had the privilege to work alongside some of the most passionate, driven, and talented individuals in the industry. As I transition into my new role as chair of Deloitte Thailand, I look forward to grooming the next generation of partners and empowering them to lead with distinction. The goal is to ensure the continued growth and lasting legacy of our practice, and at the same time nurture our local Thai talent and boost the standards of our profession in the country.”
Eugene Ho, CEO of Deloitte Southeast Asia, added: “I have had the opportunity to work with both Khun Subhasakdi and Metinee, and I am certain that Metinee will succeed in her role, applying her outstanding expertise and strategic insight to work closely with our clients locally in Thailand and to continue growing our Thailand practice. I extend my gratitude to Khun Subhasakdi for his unwavering dedication to the firm throughout his years of illustrious service. I am confident that he will continue to be an invaluable asset to the firm as he cultivates and next generation of talent in his new role as chair of Deloitte Thailand.”
