Steven Path is Kiripost’s chairman. The technology and leadership veteran has 25 years of experience in the United States, where he was CTO of eBenx, a tech startup that had a $1 billion IPO. He also co-founded several IT companies that provided services to Fortune 100 giants. Path returned to Cambodia in 2008 to found Pathmazing, which today has become a tech powerhouse and in 2022 was awarded the master agency of the 32nd SEA Games and 12th ASEAN PARA Games — recently concluded as the most succesful sports event in Cambodia's history. Pathmazing boasts a talented team of more than 120 software engineers, architects and UI / UX designers, who work with Kiripost to ensure our digital platform stays ahead of the game. Path has served on the Board of the American Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia and was the former President of the ICT Federation of Cambodia.

Currently Kiripost’s CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Chan Thul started his journalism career at Leisure Cambodia in 2002, after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English. A year later, he won a scholarship to study at the Independent Journalism Foundation (IJF) in Phnom Penh. He was quickly snapped up to work as a stringer for Spanish news wire EFE, before moving on to work for Chinese news agency, Xinhua. After a short stint at Xinhua, in 2004 the Siem Reap native joined a leading local newspaper covering the courts and general news, and as an assignment editor. In 2010, he moved onto the next stage of his career, working with Reuters, where he spent 14 years working as a full-time correspondent. Chan Thul is also a passionate advocate of press freedom, having been involved in championing independent journalism for many years. Besides chasing stories of public interest, Chan Thul works as a media trainer, helping transform young, timid people into fierce journalists. Three of Chan Thul’s former students currently write for Kiripost, while many others work as freelancers, as well as for other media outlets.

Tharum is a prominent figure in Cambodia’s digital landscape. Tharum has been blogging about media and technology in Cambodia since 2004. His work has also appeared in a number of international media outlets. He was also a contributor to Global Voices Online, a project started at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. Tharum began his professional journey in the early 2000s when blogging was still a nascent phenomenon in Cambodia. Recognizing the potential of this new medium, he started his own blog, becoming one of the pioneers in the Cambodian blogging scene. Through his writings, Tharum shared his thoughts on technology and the impact of the Internet on society, establishing himself as a respected voice in the online community. Tharum graduated from the National University of Management with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. He is an alumnus of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the U.S. Department of State's premier professional exchange program. Tharum is also a board member of Open Development Cambodia.

Marissa has worked as an editor at Kiripost since its launch. The award-winning journalist started her career in 2003 after completing a Master’s in Journalism at the University of Sunderland, UK. She spent almost a decade working on newspapers in England in a range of roles, including crime reporter, local government reporter and chief reporter, before landing a spot on the news desk as deputy news editor. In 2012, Marissa relocated to Cambodia, where she spent five years as editor of AsiaLIFE Cambodia, the country’s leading English-language lifestyle magazine, and helped launch and edit ASEAN Forum, a quarterly business publication. In 2018, Marissa became a full-time freelancer, working as the Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam correspondent for Singapore-based TTG Asia, and contributing to other publications, most notably South China Morning Post, BBC, Travel + Leisure, Eco-Business, and Mongabay. In 2018, Marissa won Feature of the Year at the Media Publishers Association of Singapore Awards for a feature on dark tourism in Cambodia, and clinched the PATA Gold Award 2022 - Business Article for a feature on building back tourism in a post-pandemic world.

Kiripost is an amazing media platform. I first noticed it, in 2022. I knew it would grow big. It grew more 1000 times thanks to great team with leadership and passion of rockstar Bong Prak Chan Thul🚀🇰🇭! I am honoured I personally met him. I strongly believe the quality of the content is the most valuable to the audience! I know you can grow more so please keep improving! Let’s see where you are in December 2024! Go Kiripost!
