In his almost 40-year career as a top-level technology executive, Ramon Jocson has worked or was affiliated only with three-letter firms SGV, IBM, and BPI.
It was SGV which provided him with a tech scholarship after graduating with an Industrial Engineering degree from the University of the Philippines in Diliman. But his IT career got off to a formal start with Big Blue when he signed up as a systems analyst in 1982, eventually becoming country manager of IBM Philippines in 1996 and wrapping up his stint in 2015 as general manager of IBM Global Services for Central and Eastern Europe based in the Czech Republic. In his current role as executive vice president and chief operating officer of BPI, Jocson has put on an additional hat as a banker while leading the digital transformation of the 170-year-old institution.
