Summary

With 29 years of experience in the poultry industry, including a significant tenure at a poultry integration company, I have developed a strong foundation in broiler production and animal health. After completing my university education, I joined San Miguel Foods, Inc., where I started in broiler production and later transitioned to the animal health department. This extensive experience has provided me with a solid background in poultry production and technical expertise. In 2006, I joined Merial Philippines to contribute my expertise in the technical and marketing aspects of the poultry business. Recognized for exceptional performance, I was promoted to the role of Business Manager for Philippine operations and later for Southeast Asia operations. Since 2018, I have been serving as the Commercial Director at Olmix Asia, consistently making valuable contributions to the company's success.
