Globe Business introduces new brand ambassadors

MANILA, Philippines -  Globe Business encourages Filipino entrepreneurs to enjoy their passions outside of work — by helping them run their business in ways that are simpler, more efficient and at less cost. 

To show that doing business while enjoying life is possible, Globe Business has invited a group of select Filipino entrepreneurs to be Globe Business Ambassadors.

The Globe Business Ambassadors are role models and inspirations for all entrepreneurs to emulate so that they, too, may discover the secrets of having work-life balance. They were honored in “Joie de Vivre: The Globe Business Hat Party” held at the Prive Luxury Club recently.

Jesus Romero, head of Globe Business, said, “Our new brand ambassadors inspire us because they take care of business while achieving what we call joyful living. They are entrepreneurs who maximize the use of modern telecoms products and services to run their business more simply and effectively, thereby reducing their work-related stress.”

“They also use these same telecoms tools to make their schedules and routines more efficient. As a result, they have more free time for their hobbies and recreation, including quality time spent with family and friends,” he added.

Romero said all the brand ambassadors are relying on Globe Business products and services to maintain their joy at work and in their personal lives.

Model entrepreneurs

One of the newest ambassadors of Globe Business is Amina Aranaz-Alunan who designs and sells the world-class Aranaz bags. She is also the owner and school director of SoFA (School of Fashion and the Arts) and is a staunch advocate of women empowerment.

Lennie Dionisio established the Tomato fashion store franchise to address Filipinos’ need for affordable yet stylish and high-quality clothes. While overseeing 19 Tomato branches across the country, she is able to enjoy her hobbies which include traveling and playing badminton.

Yale-educated entrepreneur Jaime Daez is known for his thriving bookstore Fully Booked under his company Sketchbooks Inc. He also owns two specialty bookstores and a home furnishing company. Despite his busy schedule, he still finds time to be with his wife, listen to his growing collection of CDs, and watch movies.

Rose Ann Bautista is the owner and vice president for marketing and retail operations of Fino Leatherware Inc. and the co-owner of Skin, a leather furniture firm. She is able to be a doting mother and a loving wife, while pursuing her passions in water sports, running and the gym. After establishing 10 Fino branches and a new venture, she stays on top of her game.

While managing Puentespina Orchids and Tropical Plants Inc. could be taxing, owner Rex Puentespina can still enjoy his other interests such as hobie sailing. He is, in fact, the chairman of the Hobie Nationals Organizing Committee, and he also competes in regattas. He is likewise a member of the Taal Lake Yacht Club.

Happy Ongpauco-Tiu also comes from a clan of successful entrepreneurs. Her family is known for the Barrio Fiesta chain of restaurants and she has established her own Happy Concept Group of Companies. Her businesses include restaurants, party-themed carts, and a beauty clinic, among others. While running a business is her great passion in life, she says modern telecoms allows her to take care of her husband and kids and enjoy happy moments with them regularly.

Kenneth Cobonpue is recognized by critics and the design community as one of the top industrial designers in the world. His extraordinary pieces are exhibited yearly from Paris to New York and Hollywood celebrities are among his clients. He has won the most prestigious design awards in Asia and Europe, including Prix D’Excellence Coup De Coeur in 2011. In 2004, he was one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines.

At the same time, he is able to passionately practice his hobbies such as photography and tennis.
