is a titan of the luxury furniture industry in Bangkok, catering to
                             those who prefer – and can afford – the finer things in life. Euro Creations, under
                             Kevin’s leadership, has become an all-inclusive destination for luxury home furnish-
                             ings, offering a curated selection of high-end products from imported brands around
                             the world.

                             Kevin’s journey began after graduating from The London School of Economics, when
                             he honed his skills at Depa Interiors in Dubai, a joint venture interior contracting firm.
                             In 2010, he co-founded DDS Contracts & Interior Solutions (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a
                             significant player in Thailand’s furniture manufacturing industry, laying the groundwork
                             for what was to come. By 2012, Kevin returned to the family fold at Euro Creations as
                             Vice President of Business Development, where he aimed to professionalise the business
                             while staying true to his family’s long-term values.

                             Over the years, Kevin has expanded Euro Creations’ portfolio to include some of the world’s
                             most exclusive Italian design brands, including Molteni&C, Natuzzi Italia, Cassina,
                             Giorgetti, and more – always with a focus on providing not just luxury products, but
                             also an exceptional customer experience. His commitment to excellence has positioned
                             Euro Creations as a leader in the market, culminating in its milestone listing on The
                             Stock Exchange of Thailand in February 2024.
