Vivek Padmanabhan | Co-founder, PSG Global and pioneer of the outsourcing industry

Vivek, an MBA graduate of Chicago Booth, co-founded PSG Global Solutions in the Philippines with Brian Cotter. With extensive experience in corporate strategy at McKinsey and Company in Europe and as senior executives at eTelecare, the duo aimed to create high-quality jobs for overqualified Filipinos and improve the offshore recruiting sector. PSG Global Solutions is now the market leader in the US$6B RPO industry, and their commitment to addressing inequality aligns with Endeavor's mission. They enjoy mentoring employees who take on leadership roles in major corporations.

Roland Ros and Rexy Dorado | Co-founders, Kumu

Both Filipinos who grew up overseas, it’s no wonder that Kumu co-founders Roland and Rexy founded a venture based on community. Rexy studied Economics at Brown and nurtured his passions for culture and impact through the Filipino society, as well as his internships at Ashoka and Endeavor. He soon combined these experiences to found Kaya Collaborative, a nonprofit that connected the Filipino diaspora to social causes back home. It was through Kaya Co that Roland and Rexy first met, worked together, and started dreaming up ways to connect the global Filipino community at scale. Together, they've grown Kumu into the fastest growing social media platform and live-streaming community in the country.

Dexter co-founded and led product, design, and engineering for Kalibrr, the first company from the Philippines to get into Y Combinator.

He has a background in Workforce Policy and Education Policy. Dexter loves to mentor up-and-coming young entrepreneurs, and to learn from tech and product leaders across the globe.
