PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY
As a team, we are most passionate about using digital technology to create solutions that transform businesses. While the initial objective is to add economic value to the business, we are just as mindful to include in our success metrics the positive impact these transformations will have on major stakeholders surrounding the business such as delighted employees and customers.
THE BLAST ASIA PRIDE
I am most proud of our ability to create products that resonate with our target customers – from startup companies to corporates. It goes without saying that the men and women behind these products – software engineers, to customer success, from sales and business development to marketing, from project to product management, and the infrastructure support behind that makes day-to-day operations happen, take a tip from my hat because they have made it happen.
ROOTS
I am originally from Davao – Southern Philippines but have spent most of my adult life in Manila, the US, and the Asia Pacific for work and education.
