Hi, I'm Gwen.

I run Ayala Virtual Assistance Services, I built Filipina Women in Business, and I co-founded Robots & Coffee and JTL Growth with my partner Jamz.

Not bad for a girl from Manila who started out selling lip tints on her cousin's bike.

I'm the eldest daughter.

I've been an achiever since I was little. Ask my mom and dad, they have the medals in a box somewhere.

Being the ate means you go first and figure things out, so the road is a little easier for the one behind you. My sister has seen every chapter of this.

I'm laking lola.

My lola raised me. She's in heaven now, and I still build everything like she's watching.

I started selling at 17.

Lip tints first. I took the orders, packed the boxes, and delivered them myself on my cousin's bike, rain or Manila traffic.

Then networking and live selling. I walked into rooms where I knew nobody and went live for whoever stayed to watch. I heard a lot of no's. They taught me how to sell.

Then I worked the real jobs.

I served at Unli Wings, worked the counter at McDo, and took calls on the graveyard shift at a call center.

That's where I learned speed, service, and how to stay calm when the customer isn't.

Then I became a VA.

Zero experience, a lot of nerve. I learned every tool I could get my hands on, said yes to the hard tasks, and started working with clients abroad.

Now I'm the one hiring.

Today I lead a team, work with clients around the world, run a community of Filipina women in business, and teach companies how to use AI.

What I'm building next: businesses and systems that keep growing without me holding everything together.

Here's how we can work together
