For the 10th straight year, JLL Philippines will present the JLL Expatriate Executive of the Year Award at the 10th Asia CEO Awards. Considered to be the largest business awards event in Philippines and Southeast Asia, the Asia CEO Awards annually recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of business leaders in the Philippines.
During the media launch held last September 20 at the Marriot Grand Ballroom, JLL Country Head Christophe Vicic presented the list of this year’s list of nominees for the JLL Expatriate Executive Award: Angeline Tham (Founder & CEO, Angkas), Arthur Nowak (Senior Vice President – Asia Pacific, Teletech), Aseem Roy (Country Head, Wipro Philippines), Elek Toth (Country Leader, Concentrix), Maurice Levine (CEO, Anytime Fitness Asia), and Romulo Nati (CEO, Italpinas Development Corporation).
The selection process of nominees was based on management achievement, financial contribution, international recognition, pioneering achievements, social commitment, and cultural integration. The award will be given to the nominee with the most measurable success while overseeing a business enterprise within Philippines, and the accomplishment must have made a strong contribution to the development of the country’s economic capabilities.
“For the past decade, JLL has been recognizing outstanding expats in the Philippines who have brought their expertise and have become Filipino at heart for their strong contribution to the country's economic progress,” said Vicic.
