Billy Sountornsorn's Linkedin Analytics

I bring two principles to every job I've had: hard work and resilience. I learned that from my parents who immigrated to Australia from Thailand and opened Queensland's first Thai restaurant when I was five. After working my way through college at one of Australia's first Starbucks locations, I studied foreign policy at Georgetown. From there I started my career leading projects and policy work for some of D.C.'s most influential think tanks and later moved into market research and then sales. My professional experience spans the U.S., Asia, and the UK across industry sectors including technology, public policy, and advertising. Over the last 12 years, I’ve been a senior leader at LinkedIn and in individual contributor sales and account management roles in ad and software sales. I am passionate about advancing representation, equity, and inclusion for the Asian and LGBTQ communities. I love food and travel, and like most Australians, I’m always on the hunt for a really good cup of coffee.
