Shannon Kalayanamitr, FOUNDER OF TEAMCXO

Shannon Kalayanamitr is an exited tech entrepreneur, investor, and board director shaping Southeast Asia’s innovation ecosystem. She was instrumental in launching Lazada Thailand and founded Moxy, a women-centric e-commerce platform that later merged to become Orami, one of Southeast Asia’s first lifestyle e-commerce exits.

Today, Shannon is the founder of TeamCXO, a curated fractional C-suite advisory platform that connects scaling companies with top executive talent, and she serves as a Venture Partner at Hive Ventures, where she supports early-stage founders with capital and go-to-market expertise. She is a Board Advisor to Pi Securities PCL and Nova Labs — an AI-driven precision longevity platform positioned as a living lab for healthspan optimization within one of Thailand’s most prestigious members’ clubs, combining real-time biometrics and regenerative protocols to extend peak performance and vitality.

A passionate advocate for women in leadership, Shannon founded The CrestHaus, a leadership ecosystem dedicated to accelerating the pipeline of women into the C-suite and boardrooms. CrestHaus combines mastery training, peer mentorship, and strategic positioning to equip women leaders with the tools to create lasting impact in business and society.

Shannon is also a household name as a shark on Shark Tank Thailand, where she invests in and mentors high-potential startups. Over her nearly two-decade career — from investment banking at Lehman Brothers, to leading global operations at Singha Beer, to building and exiting tech ventures — she has consistently championed innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusive growth.

Mother of twin girls and deeply connected across government, technology, business, media, and sustainability sectors, Shannon is passionate about shaping Southeast Asia’s future. Her work bridges strategy, innovation, and impact — spanning education, healthcare, smart cities, fintech, and longevity — with a focus on building scalable solutions that improve lives and create generational change.
