In a move to further its mission to ensure every pet in Australia is safe, respected and loved, Perth-based national animal welfare charity PetRescue has appointed Patima Tantiprasut as GM.
Patima Tantiprasut joined the PetRescue team as GM in early February, after leaving her role at Seven West Media, where she had been Head of Product and Design.
Ms Tantiprasut has years of experience in leadership, product strategy, design, technology and community engagement.
Previously, she has been Creative Director and Studio Manager of award-winning Perth-based digital agency, Bam Creative, Director of a Perth-based not-for-profit creative tech conference, MixinConf, and as co-founder of employee engagement startup, 6Q.
Ms Tantiprasut said she was thrilled to be appointed as the General Manager of PetRescue, having had a lifelong interest in people, wellness, positive workplace culture, team engagement, ethical design, development and of course, animal welfare.
“I’m most grateful for the opportunity to join this inspiring organisation. I’m in awe of what PetRescue have achieved in the past 15 years and am looking forward to working with the incredible team to further the organisation’s mission to ensure that every pet in Australia is safe, respected and loved,” she said.

John Bishop, Co-Founder of PetRescue, says Ms Tantiprasut brings a wealth of experience which will greatly benefit what has become Australia’s most visited charity website.
“We’re thrilled to have someone of Patima’s experience and talent to take leadership of PetRescue,” John said.
“Patima’s amazing reputation and diverse background as a designer, developer, creative and brand director, strategist, and international speaker identified her as the perfect person for this position.”
“In the short time she’s been part of PetRescue, she has dramatically changed the way we work for the better, having implemented many systems and processes to streamline operations. We’re incredibly lucky to have such a motivated and enthusiastic people leader as our GM.”
