Her leadership, vision, and trailblazing spirit continue to inspire not only the company but the entire industry — proving that bold ideas and fearless women lead real change.

"I'm so proud to join fellow changemakers in Singapore not just as a representative of DDB and Bent and Buzz —but as a woman rewriting the narrative of leadership across Asia. We at DDB Group Philippines are celebrating this not just as a company milestone, but as a proud moment for the nation," Chua-Norbert said.
