Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship
Prof Jorge with RJ David, CEO and founder of Sulit at Angono Day awards night
Angono Rizal PHL August 19, 2013
I attended an awarding ceremonies which culminate the 75th (diamond) independence jubilee of Angono, Rizal my hometown. As I was waiting for the program to start, one of the awardees for business (just like me but for IT) took my hand and said "Mano po ninong" I was a little bit surprised and after some conversation learned, as I thought all along that he founded Sulit. He is RJ David, an inaanak.
And that we has awardee for Go Negosyo (where I am a lecturer) several times. And I had conversation about SEO (of which my daughter is very much involved him) Sulit is a very much admired local IT company. He said he started it with his wife in Bloomingdale Homes subdivision (which I planned and helped build and sell). And they started everything from scratch.
He sold the company to a South African company (a $5 billion annual revenue company which owns Craig partially) but retained the CEO title and 20% ownership. He does not live anymore in Angono. He lives in Ortigas where Sulit is now headquartered.
