    Houston

    I am a startup ecosystem builder, innovation program manager, product manager, and social entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience that includes extensive international work and collaborations with entrepreneurs, corporations, government agencies, and events organizations to build global tech communities. In 2012 I founded the nonprofit TechTalks.ph which I grew to 10 chapters in Philippines with thousands of members and have organized the international tech/startup conference, Geeks On A Beach. I have also contributed to several startup conferences and events for partners that include 500 Startups, Geeks On A Plane, STAC Silicon Valley, Techstars, CreatePhilippines, and WorldStartupReport.

    My areas of expertise include Program Management, Community Building, Conference Production, Business Planning, Product Marketing, Digital Marketing, Market Research, and Management. I have advised multiple government agencies and corporations on innovation and startup development initiatives, and I am passionate about building thriving and sustainable ecosystems that foster collaboration and success.

    In addition to my experience, I earned an MBA at Pepperdine and completed my engineering undergrad at University of San Carlos (Philippines). My language skills include English, Filipino, and Cebuano.
