Converge Global Business AVP and Head of Enterprise Sales for Visayas and Mindanao Shion Canen noted that robust connectivity is the backbone of regional progress.“For Visayas and Mindanao to truly thrive, digital transformation must lead the way,” Canen said. “Converge Global Business is fully committed to equipping local businesses and public partners with enterprise-grade connectivity and custom ICT solutions. Platforms like the AmCham Visayas General Membership meeting are vital reminders of what we can achieve when we pool our expertise to build a smarter region.”
“To truly turn digital transformation into action, industry leaders and technology enablers must work hand-in-hand,” said AmCham Visayas President Brian Connelly. “Co-presenting this general membership meeting alongside Converge Global Business gave our members direct access to key insights on how reliable technology elevates both enterprise growth and public governance. Together, we are creating meaningful opportunities to build a smarter, more resilient economic future for the Visayas region.”
