Pallasena Viswanath

Philippines Managing Director, HP Inc.

- Marlet D. Salazar

There is something remarkably philosophical about Pallasena Viswanath, managing director at HP Philippines, that upon entry to the vast meeting room, the air was suddenly filled with optimism. You would hang on every word he says because you know there’s a lesson or two to be picked up over the course of a casual conversation. Viswanath has been with HP for 30 years and climbed the corporate ladder by embracing every possible opportunity to learn. He started as a Sales Engineer in Bangalore, India and after years of serving in multiple geographies, he was tasked to head the company’s Philippine headquarters.

Viswanath shares with Gadgets Magazine some of his thoughts on life, work, and HP’s brand values.
