Tatler Leadership
How do you build beyond the big moment? At the Tatler Gen.T Summit 2026, Thainchai “Bank” Pisitwuttinan (@bank_tpisit) draws on his experience reviving one of Thailand’s oldest sporting institutions to share how to turn attention into something that lasts. Bank is the co-founder and CEO of Global Sport Ventures, which took over the running of Rajadamnern Stadium, the world’s first Muay Thai stadium, in 2022. A former McKinsey consultant, he led the renovation and rebrand of the 80-year-old venue and built its flagship Rajadamnern World Series into a modern, fan-friendly fight night for a global audience. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand Apply for your place in the link in bio.

How does creativity have the power to preserve heritage, challenge convention, and create meaningful change? 'The Power of Creativity: Where Craftsmanship, Purpose, and Social Impact Converge', a panel held at @milkeninstitute's Asia Summit 2026, sought to answer just that. Moderated by @asihjenie, editor of @tatlerhomes Singapore, this conversation brought together gallerist Mikael Kraemer of @galeriekraemer; @poman_lo, vice-chairman of Regal Hotels Group and founder of One Earth; and @fred_mouawad, chairman of Synergia One and fourth generation co-guardian of the high jewellery house Mouawad. Together, the panel explored how design can become a force for good and examined how art, luxury, hospitality and philanthropy can shape a more equitable future. From keeping traditional craftsmanship alive in an age of AI to rethinking what luxury and lasting value mean, the conversation explores how creative thinking can extend beyond the objects we make to the lives and communities we touch.
Tilly Birds (@tillybirds) are bringing the room to life at the Tatler Gen.T Summit 2026. One of Thailand's most exciting alternative rock bands, the trio have built a loyal following through emotionally direct songwriting, a genre-blurring sound and a body of work that has carried far beyond their country's indie scene. At the Summit, they’ll perform live and have a conversation about creativity, ambition and what it takes to keep evolving as your audience—and expectations—grow. They're part of a new generation of Thai artists building cultural influence on their own terms and showing how something deeply local can travel. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok Apply to watch them live via the link in bio.

What does it take to keep moving forward when things do not go as planned? For professional golfer and Sands Champion Ambassador @lilymhe, resilience, self-belief, and staying true to yourself are all part of the journey. At @marinabaysands’ 'In Conversation With' series, He met with aspiring golfers from the Singapore Golf Association and LLD Sports, alongside youths from Access Singapore’s network, for an open conversation about the realities of professional sport and the importance of forging your own path. Drawing on her journey from promising amateur to LPGA professional, she reflected on navigating setbacks, embracing individuality, and defining success beyond the scoreboard. The session also marked the first time youths from Access Singapore’s network joined an 'In Conversation With' dialogue, creating an opportunity to exchange perspectives and hear first-hand lessons from an athlete who has built an identity that extends beyond the golf course. Swipe through for highlights from the conversation.
What if the most coveted social spaces are the ones you cannot simply walk into? Singapore’s private members’ clubs are offering a new take on the idea of the ‘third place’, trading open doors and easy access for something more selective: a sense of belonging shaped by who is inside. At @mandalaclub.sg, a morning coffee can unfold into an evening martini, while intimate dining rooms, a sushi and sake counter, vintage records, wellness spaces and late-night gatherings give members plenty of reasons to linger. Then there is @vantamembers, where membership is deliberately kept invitation-only and centred on a more discerning idea of community. At @madisonhousesg, meanwhile, belonging comes with an extraordinary sense of place. Set within a 37,000 sq ft heritage estate at Fort Canning, the members’ club brings together dining, fitness and wellness across indoor and outdoor spaces, creating an enclave that feels remarkably removed from the city just beyond its grounds. As Singapore’s dining and nightlife scene continues to shift, these private spaces are making a different proposition for how we spend our time, and with whom.

How do you create something the world can't ignore? Nicholas Simon (@nicholassimonindochina), founder of Indochina Productions, brought big-budget Hollywood filmmaking to Vietnam for the first time with ‘Warner Bros' Kong: Skull Island’, and has since built Southeast Asia's leading production company for global studios. Hear Nicholas discuss what Southeast Asia has that the world keeps coming back for and how to hold conviction before the evidence for global resonance exists. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand Apply for your place in the link in bio.

How do you change something everyone else accepted? After her own sexual assault, Amanda Nguyen (@amandangocnguyen) found a system that had long failed survivors like her—one nobody in power seemed inclined to fix. She had no legal training and no formal authority. So she wrote the rules herself: the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights, which was passed into US federal law in 2016 and later adopted at the state and international level. Hear Amanda discuss how she did this at the Tatler Gen.T Summit 2026, and leave with how to move a system when you have no authority and no model to follow. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand Apply for your place in the link in bio.

Some of the hardest leadership happens without the authority to back it up. Khalida Popal (@khalida_popal_girlpower) knows that better than most. A founding member and former captain of Afghanistan's first women's national football team, she spent years campaigning to bring Afghan women players back into international football. In 2026, Fifa changed its rules to recognise the Afghan women's refugee team. At the Tatler Gen.T Summit, she'll share how to earn credibility, build trust and lead from where you are. 📅 October 27–28, 2026 📍 Siam Paragon, Bangkok Apply for your place in the link in bio.

The Covid-19 global pandemic was a transformative and eye-opening experience for many, in many different ways. For Reme-D founder and Cartier Women’s Initiative 2026 awardee Salma Tammam, it proved to be the catalyst needed to bring her work from theory into impactful practice. Since launching, the company has developed and commercialised 30 diagnostic products at its Cairo manufacturing facility and supplied over 550,000 tests across Egypt, Kenya, and Sudan. We spoke to Tammam at the recent Cartier Women’s Initiative (@cartierawards) awards ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand, about her work and the significance of this recognition. Link in bio for more.

How do you build a network for the long game? Pita Limjaroenrat (@pita.ig), a visiting fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, has spent the past decade quietly keeping track of hundreds of young people he's met and believed in—not for what they could offer him, but for what they might go on to contribute to society. Hear Pita discuss this at the Tatler Gen.T Summit 2026, and leave with insights on how to build relationships with a long-term mindset, and the habits that help you think beyond the immediate. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand Apply for your place in the link in bio.

What does it actually take to make artificial intelligence work for a business that has spent decades doing things one way? Next-generation business owners and family business leaders gathered at Tatler House on 22 September to find out at the Tatler House Dialogue, presented in partnership with DBS Corporate and Institutional Banking (@dbsbusinessclass). Oliver Jay, managing director, International at OpenAI, and Bidyut Dumra, group head of Innovation & Future of Work at DBS, spoke about rolling out AI, measuring return on investment and putting safety first. The evening continued with food by Tim's Fine Catering, a sake tasting by Dassai and a live leather-stamping station by Bynd Artisan, where guests personalised their own take-home tags.
How do you think clearly when there's too much to think about? Judit Polgár (@judit.polgar.official) has spent her career answering that question under pressure. The chess grandmaster is the only woman in history to break the world's top 10, competing exclusively in open tournaments against the world's best players and defeating 11 current or former world champions along the way. Hear Judit discuss this live at the Tatler Gen.T Summit 2026: how she trained her mind to spot the patterns that matter and how to know which possibilities are worth stopping to think deeply about. 27–28 October 2026 Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand Apply for your place in the link in bio.
