Eastwest's Top Men: Strong Leaders, Gentle Fathers

EastWest CEO Jerry G. Ngo, EVP and Consumer Lending Head Lawrence Lee, and SVP and Head of Marketing Martin Reyes look back on their experiences as fathers

Although it takes a lot of gumption, firmness, and drive to lead and shape a gigantic institution such as one of the Philippines’ most prominent banks, three of EastWest’s top leaders bear their fatherly responsibilities with a tender and gentle touch.

EastWest CEO Jerry G. Ngo, Executive Vice President and Head of Consumer Lending Lawrence Lee, and SVP Head of Marketing Martin Reyes all profess to be easygoing dads at home despite being tough bosses at work. It’s an interesting (not to mention welcome) contrast to how many Filipinos grew up.

“I think I’m fairly easygoing as a parent, as it’s a bit difficult to be a disciplinarian these days,” said Jerry, who has two adult children, a son and a daughter in their 20s. He had traveled all over the world with his family for work, first moving to Singapore in the ‘90s when his daughter was only a year old, so the children were well aware that they had to be somewhat nomadic.

Pets become our life partners so we need to do our part to keep them happy and healthy. Here are some ways you can create an environment and lifestyle which are beneficial to both you and your pet.

EastWest puts the spotlight on mom leaders who enjoy the best of both worlds

There’s something about women that enables them to take on the challenge of having a career and family life at the same time. Women—especially mom leaders who play important roles in the companies they work for—possess an inner strength and the sheer determination to be happy and successful both at work and at home.

While all women are definitely valid, professionals who are also moms certainly have a more challenging time, as they need to juggle homemaking and having an active career. These mom leaders thrive because of their solid support system, such as the one they get from working at a supportive organization like EastWest. 

To illustrate their success, here’s a peek at how three of EastWest’s mom leaders have managed to both climb the corporate ladder and raise a happy family.
