In this episode of Asenso Tayo Leaders, we talk about leadership through the lens of experience from 2025’s Most Influential Filipino Leaders in the World!

We have a chat with Aya Shlachter, CEO of MGS Global, a Filipina, a Cebuana, a leader whose story reflects how far Filipinos have come in global work.

Michael and Maria explore Aya’s experiences, the opportunities she has started with her passion for fellow Filipinos, and what it really takes for Filipino women to step into leadership with confidence. 

She shares her thoughts on staying proud of her culture, shaping the right mindset, and why more global teams are now led, built, and strengthened by Filipinos.
