Globe’s pivot

Globe Group president and chief executive Ernest Cu talks about the company’s purpose-driven approach to empowering people through digitalization on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Globe is accelerating its pivot from a traditional telecommunications company to a full-fledged tech enterprise, always on the lookout for the next big problem to solve towards digital enablement and transformation. The shift from telco to techco began when Globe became the number one mobile operator in the country in 2016. The success prompted the organization to expand its vision and place greater emphasis on digital solutions.
