“Ignorance is bliss” when it comes to developing apps and games.
What’s your story?
I have failed, I have failed, and I have failed. This makes even the humblest of successes worth it. My story starts in Manila where I was born and raised; your typical island boy I spent weekends on the beach and studied in international schools which helped prepare me for the international world we now live in. I eventually moved to Las Vegas for university but always wanted to move back and take what I had learned back with me. After many ventures into various industries like television production, fuel wholesale and mining, I find myself lucky enough to be working with a super team of developers, artists and like minded individuals who share a goal to reinvent apps and game development in the Philippines. We want to show that the talent here (which is utilized heavily in an outsourcing manner) can be used to create our own original world class games and apps.
What excites you most about your industry?
The fact that it is all very new to me; I am learning as I go and trying to absorb as much as I can. I feel this is a strength though because during this period you can operate outside of the boundaries that people normally set for themselves. I like to believe ignorance is bliss in this case.
What’s your connection to Asia?
I am proudly born and raised in Asia. I did get my university degree in the States (UNLV) so I feel very fortunate to have spent time abroad but Asia is home and this is where I see myself.
Favourite city in Asia for business and why?
I would have to say Manila. This place has always been the ugly duckling compared to her sister cities around the region but it seems like it is changing; people seem to be more open to Manila and can see that the people of our city are educated and innovative, but still have reasonable expectations. On a personal note, this is homecourt for me and who does not enjoy that?
What’s the best pie Ascend Now was founded to bridge the gap between academic and psychological support, helping students discover themselves. What’s your story? What excites you most about your industry? What’s your connection to Asia? Favourite city in Asia for business and why? What’s the best piece of advice you ever received? Who inspires you?
I am the founder of an education company called Ascend Now. Working with elementary, middle, and high school students, Ascend Now adopts a holistic pedagogical approach. We focus, first and foremost, on helping students discover their personal strengths, learning styles, interests, and passions. We then help students excel academically and to explore different career paths. To that end, we create interactive, personalized curricula for every single student.
What really inspires me about the education industry is the breadth of knowledge upon which we can draw. We have access to so many texts, speeches, current events, etc. Learning never ends. We have a motto at Ascend Now: “we promise to be eternal learners.” Each student signs this contract at the beginning of his or her time with us. The impact this promise has had on many students’ lives is enormous.
I was born and brought up in Antwerp, Belgium. I spent seven years in the United States, first as a college student and then on Wall Street. As a child, I visited Asia with my family often.
Hard to say. We travel often and it is always exciting to learn about cultures. If I had to choose, I’d say Singapore, Shanghai, Jakarta or Yangon. That narrows it down.
Focus, don’t get distracted. The other piece of advice is from Dan Gross’s “How to Win” talk. He said that when you meet someone new, ask questions that you really want to know the answer to. Too often we ask questions that are part of social conformities when in reality we want to know something else.
