From humble beginnings in abaca trading in the early 1900s 🪢, to shipping 🚢, to powering communities ⚡, and now bringing water where it’s needed most 💧, Vivant has always chosen one path: forward.
At the prestigious gathering of the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX), the country’s leading organization for senior finance executives, Vivant Corporation CEO Arlo Sarmiento delivered his keynote “Innovate or Stagnate: How Corporations Reinvent for the Future.” He shared how innovation is essential in today’s fast-changing economy, and how finance leaders are key to enabling bold decisions and strategic investments that drive national growth.
Arlo spoke about the courage it takes to let go of the familiar, the discipline to adapt before change is forced, and the vision to see opportunity where others see risk. Then and now, innovation has been the compass that has turned Vivant’s humble roots into a legacy of progress.
Today, this commitment to innovation drives the company to keep Creating Solutions for our Changing World. For Vivant, standing still has never been an option.
