Thai Union nurturing ‘global executives’

Thai Union Frozen Products has become one of the first Thai companies to strive to develop its own pools of “global executives,” launching a specially designed management-trainee program this month.

After studying similar programs at international financial institutions such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank, TUF is embarking on a "management associate" scheme to scout for new graduates from leading universities as well as young talents from around the world, said company president Thiraphong Chansiri.

Between five and 10 candidates will be selected to become TUF management associates during the initial phase. These successful candidates, who will eventually be put to work at TUF's overseas subsidiaries, will go through an intensive executive development program that includes a 16-month assignment in Thailand and a two-year assignment abroad.

These young talents will be entitled to a fast-track career path, which means that by the age of 35 they could be promoted to a general-manager position, and by 40, they could become a managing director at one of the group's subsidiaries, he said.
