With a wealth of experience and a distinct point-of-view to his name, Suki Salvador continues the relentless pursuit of passion and purpose with his appointment as the new president of MEGA Global Licensing Inc.
It is very easy to get lost in the pursuit of passion. However, even with all its dazzling details and compelling stories, success doesn’t come easy, that much we all know and have been through the wringer of. With the wealth of experience to his name, Suki Salvador understands this predicament very well. In the work that he deals with on the daily, one that interfaces with the intersection of creativity and commerce, comprehension and consideration is necessary, which he has been accorded with over the years from his longstanding tenure as creative director of MEGA and his storied ascension as president of One Mega Group. Today, the story of his purpose continues as he assumes the role of president for Mega Global Licensing Inc.
While vision and a sharp business acumen is imperative, one other ingredient is essential to make things extraordinary—curiosity. “I would observe the way people spoke, the way people behaved, and the way they reacted to certain situations. This led me to the conclusion that we are all very different, but it also taught me that we are all equally important. I understood the importance of including everyone despite our varied differences,” he shares, shedding more light into the compass that has steered the decisions he has made in his career. It is this sense of wonder, which parlayed a special interest into a thriving career, that makes Suki Salvador a perfect fit for the big moves Mega Global Licensing is set to take with the publishing of two dynamic international brands: NYLON Manila and VOGUE Philippines.
“There is an element of discovery that is inherent to NYLON Manila and VOGUE Philippines,” explains Suki Salvador. And it is very same insight and innovation that he intends to guide him in this new journey.
