“I wouldn’t differentiate how I would advise a female or a male student in terms of how they plan their career, but I will encourage women to mentor other women,” says Globe's Chief Information Officer, Pebbles Sy-Manalang. BrandRap
For all this, however, Pebbles doesn’t believe in giving women roles just to improve the ratio. After all, a job should be merit-based. But she does believe in women helping women.
And what better way to do that but to start them young? Globe has a couple of small initiatives lined up with a few schools. Plans include embedding coding classes in public schools and enhancing university courses so graduates are better prepared to join the workforce. During the two-day Innovation Forum, Globe also hosted Coding for Kids, a programming boot camp for children of Globe employees.
From cloud migration and 5G to going paperless, Globe is at the forefront of the local digital transformation. “The reason why I’ve been championing the forum for many years is I want to continue to drive the culture of innovation in Globe, which is really what made us and took us to where we are today,” says Pebbles. –Take discussions to the next level with Rappler PLUS — your platform for deeper insights, closer collaboration, and meaningful action.
