Participating Companies

The following are brief descriptions of the company presentations conducted during the 2012 AIM Placement Fair.  You can click on the names of the compay to be directed to their website.  Enjoy!


ACCENTURE

The first presentation of the day was given by Luis Gamboa of Accenture Philippines.  Luis is the head of management consulting, and he shared his experience with the students having been with the company for the past 14 years, starting as a consultant in their Chicago office.

He gave an overview of how they deliver their business: from giving high value business consulting, to systems integration, to application outsourcing, to infrastructure outsourcing, to business process outsourcing.


Luis was on campus to promote Accenture and spoke about what management consulting is about and what opportunities are available for our talent in AIM.

CITIBANK

Agnes Mondonendo, HR Director for Citibank

The Citibank N.A. presentation was given by their HR Director for Learning & Development, Ms. Agnes Mondonendo.  She gave an overview of the Management Associate Program of Citibank, and was also joined by three guys from last year's MBA batch that joined their program: Jessica Gallegos, Tony Munoz, and Distinction Awardee Kris Serrano.  

AIM MBA Citibankers: Jess Gallegos, Kris Serrano, and Tony Munoz

Jess, Kris, and Tony gave their own experiences with Citibank and how their career progression could be with the banking giant.  To know more about Citi's MAP program, please visit their website.

PLDT GLOBAL

Did you know that our local telecom giant has operations globally?  This business of PLDT was the presentation given by Atty. Alex Aaron A. Rios, Head of Legal Services of PLDT Global.   He was also joined by the head of their HR and Admin Services, Mr. Dionisio Buhay.


Atty. Rios and Mr. Buhay were able to answer the queries of the MBA and MM students about careers in PLDT Global and opportunities for them when they graduate in December.




TDG
If you're as mature as me, then you would know of a local pager company like Easycall. What you probably didn't know is that is still an existing company that progressed in the IT/ITES industry and that it is but one of the thirty companies under the Transnational Diversified Group umbrella.  The core business of TDG would be shipping and logistics, but they have diversified into energy, technology and BPO as well (i.e. ePerformax).   For a complete list of their companies, please visit their website.

The talk was given by Ms. Ellen Bernardo, HR & Admin Manager.  She shared how the business grew from just 1 company with 16 employees to 30 companies with 15,000 employees and growing.  She also presented a video clip showcasing their TDGers, including our brilliant AIM alumni.








UNILEVER

Liza Marie Vengco, Communications Manager, introduced her company to the students - not that Unilever needs much introduction.  As a very well-known house of brands, Liza didn't need to spend too much time in explaining what they do in terms of brand management and product distribution - but she did share interesting initiatives that sets them apart.

For one, Unilever, through a partnership with the NGO Rags2Riches, operates a Women Empowerment Center and they also have a strong tie-up with the Gawad Kalinga Foundation.  She shared their Sustainable Living Plan that is strongly hinged on the company's culture and not its policies -  and this clearly shows that Unilever is a socially responsible organization.  Interested students were encouraged to apply for opportunities via their careers website.
