The Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) proudly honored power women in retail through its critically acclaimed podcast, Let’s Talk Retail. For its 5th season, we showcased the remarkable journeys of three influential women who have made significant impacts in their respective fields.
We began with Ms. Nikki Tang, CEO of DMark Beauty, who shared her invaluable insights as an entrepreneur in the beauty industry. She highlighted the importance of perseverance, illustrating how it remains the cornerstone of success. Nikki’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination in overcoming challenges and achieving greatness.
Next, we featured Ms. Mariana Zobel de Ayala, SVP and Head for Leasing and Hospitality of Ayala Land. Mariana opened up about her path to success, which was far from easy. She candidly discussed the immense pressures and stresses she faced as she stepped into the business world. Unlike other heirs who might focus on simply managing their inherited businesses, Mariana is driven by a desire to add value and make a meaningful impact. She is committed to creating experiences and opportunities that resonate with the aspirations of the Filipino people, demonstrating her visionary approach and dedication to her family’s legacy.
We also highlighted Ms. Joy Polloso, Executive Vice President for Retail Commercial at Shang Properties. During her episode, she emphasized the importance of having a supportive mentor, which played a crucial role in her career development. She encouraged listeners to break free from organizational boundaries and step out of their comfort zones. By continuously learning and embracing new challenges, Joy believes that one can unlock their full potential and drive innovation within their industry.
