Before being promoted, he served as acting deputy chief executive and chief commercial officer at Thaicom, where he has worked for three decades. Mr Patompob said 90% of Thaicom's revenue is derived from satellite business, and 50% of its earnings come from the international market. Thaicom faces business challenges after its 30-year satellite operating concession ended in September 2021, requiring the company to think about new opportunities. Thaicom has been diversifying its business portfolio into digital solutions over the past couple of years in order to secure more revenue streams. Thaicom is also looking to engage in low-earth orbit satellite business.
