Mr Manpong, 50, began his investment banking career in 1993 at Phatra Thanakit Finance and Securities, whose securities unit was renamed Phatra Securities after a spin-off from the finance business. While working at Phatra Thanakit, Mr Manpong met his role model, Banyong Pongpanich, who is now chairman of Phatra Capital Plc. "He is my first teacher who groomed me to gain insights into the IB business," Mr Manpong says. "Money was not enough in some months, so I needed to think how to earn money to fill the shortage," Mr Manpong says. Mr Manpong plans to become a farmer in retirement.
