Sixto K Roxas
I just watched at ANC the interview by Coco Alcuaz with Sixto K Roxas, the former chairman of Bancom. He started the commercial papers business and investment banking in the PHL. He left business in l982. He used to be an EVP of an oil company, and Vice Chairman of Amex, the first Filipino President of AIM.
He was Jesuit educated and he finsihed his AB at Ateneo as Summa Cum Laude, and graduate studies at Fordham University. He is chairman of the T. M Kalaw Institute of Sustainable Development.
He believes that development can not be done at the national and macro level. The trajectory can start from the local level. We can use the 222 or so congressional district as starting point of development, as seen from what they have rather than the old traditional way. Entrepreneurship and development at the local level is the key.
Sixto K is an idol and I admire his accomplishment.
This is all about new ideas and innovation. Entrepreneurship is all about new ideas and innovation. There could be no entrepreneurship unless the entrepreneur thinks out of the box, is creative, and constantly thinks of making his product, his market, his processes, his business model new. It is all about being better than before and the competition. It is all about preparing for the future. Maintaining status quo means death the end of the enterprise.
