Up Close & Personal with Ernesto Tanmantiong

What does it take to grow a Filipino business globally without losing the culture, standards, and values that made it successful in the first place?

Ernesto Tanmantiong, President and CEO of the Jollibee Group, sits down with EO Philippines for a candid, members-only conversation on scaling a Filipino business globally, with Jenny Yang, EO Philippines Learning Chair, leading the conversation.

As businesses expand into new cities and countries, leaders eventually face difficult decisions about what needs to evolve and what must remain intact. This is an opportunity to hear how Ernesto thinks through those decisions and the leadership challenges that come with growth.
