Founded a year and a half ago by a group of women executives led by Marife Zamora, FCC's mission is to mentor [Ed., femtor], inspire and empower Filipina women in business, industry and professionals in the Philippines. For many of the FCC members, success means receiving recognition for their hard work and contributions as they prove their competence as top leaders in their respective industries. Their work-life balance may be a tough juggling act but perhaps what's most important for the women of FCC is creating harmonious synergy between their roles as leaders, mothers, daughters and friends.
Ace T. Itchon (Global FWN100™ '15) shares the modus operandi that drives her to achieve excellence: "Pursue relentlessly but stick to your values. Identify the trade-offs and be ready to give up comfort, but never your values. Never waste time on anything or anyone who will not contribute to bringing you closer to your goals. Surround yourself with positive people. Find a mentor. Celebrate small successes and reward yourself. Share the bounty of your success with others. Give back. And give some more."
