Voices of Leadership
What do successful leaders do that the rest of us don’t?
They take risks. They create value. They stay one step ahead of the rest. They are not fazed by difficulty. They have a sense of purpose. They follow their dreams — and take others along with them.
On December 7, 2011, Inspire will bring together the Philippines’ most influential leaders and innovators in Voices of Leadership. Listen to them and be inspired by their stories of triumph against adversity and their determination to make a difference in the lives of the Filipino people.

“Who would ever think that a simple status message can forever change a community?
When Jay posted as a FACEBOOK status message the ordeal of hundreds of students in ZAMBOANGA who were forced to cross the river every single day just to be able to go to school, he was able to raise funds that was more than enough for a single boat to safely transport children to their schools.
Jay’s simple status message has now turned into a widespread advocacy.”
Noel Lorenzana
on “MOVING YOUR BRAND FROM SUCCESS TO SIGNIFICANCE”
- CEO of Nutri-Asia Philippines – manufacturers of leading brands such as UFC, DATU PUTI
- Former Chairman of UNILEVER Malaysia & Singapore
Excerpt from an interview with Noel Lorenzana:
“It is also important for business leaders to find meaning or cause in what they do. Apart from getting a chance to be part of a team that shapes the future of a true Filipino Company, it is gratifying to know that what we make plays a significant role in the lives of people; whether it is building family ties, creating new friendships, bridging broken relationships, remembering home, or simply rewarding oneself after a hard and honest day’s work. This sense of purpose is what fuels business leaders like me to continue to drive the business forward, towards both commercial and societal objectives.”
Dennis Mendiola
on “IMAGINATION KNOWS NO LIMIT”
- Co-founder and CEO of Chikka
- Elected Governor of the Philippine National Red Cross
- 2006 Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young
- A Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) awardee
- Graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in BS Economics (Wharton) and BS Electrical Engineering (Moore) from the University of Pennsylvania.

- Investment banker at McKinsey Consulting, Morgan Stanley & Bankers Trust
Excerpt from an interview with Dennis Mendiola:
“Partnership is key – sharing the “wealth” is a great motivator for INNOVATION. I am now focusing my energies on platforms, not on one-off applications, that would allow service providers and developers to launch their creations on the net and on the mobile without hassle of setting up things from scratch. We should all be building the highway and malls that would give them quick market access and hence, the shortest path to profitability.”
Mark Ruiz
on “WHY HAPINOY IS LIKE the IPHONE”
- Innovator with Soul
- Co-founder of Microventures, Rags2Riches, Inovent Design, Why Not Forum, and Hapinoy.
Excerpt from an interview with Mark Ruiz:
“…but from the very beginning, we never really saw the HAPINOY STORES to remain as ordinary sari-sari stores. Since a major thrust for Hapinoy is to grow the business of our micro-entrepreneur store owners–captured in our PATH TO PROSPERITY Program – then we have to go beyond traditional business thinking in order to realize new revenue streams. And in a situation wherein commodity goods provide only commodity margins, then innovation and evolution will play a key part in our Hapinoy Store’s growth.”
