From $20 to 8 Figures — A Global Entrepreneur Redefining What’s Possible

I started with just $20, selling products online while working a retail job. No investors. No safety net. Just grit, vision, and a desire to build something of my own.

That $20 turned into a thriving Beauty eCommerce business—recognized twice by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Since then, I’ve built multiple 7-figure brands and one 8-figure company under KH Group, my umbrella for ventures spanning eCommerce, hospitality, real estate, media, and emerging tech.

In 2016, I launched Bintana sa Paraiso, now a 5x TripAdvisor Award-winning boutique hotel brand in the Philippines. I scaled my first business using predictive AI back in 2012—before it was mainstream—and today, I’m the founder of the Global AI Council, a nonprofit championing AI literacy across six countries.

🌍 I’ve spoken on global stages from the U.S. to Spain, Malta, Nigeria, Hong Kong, and beyond—partnering with brands like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and American Express. I was one of only three thought leaders invited to present on Web3 and emerging tech at Harvard Business School.

🎤 A 2x TEDx speaker (with one talk featured on TED.com), I’m passionate about helping people tap into their purpose, share their story, and build a limitless life. My upcoming book, Unlimited Possibilities (Penguin Random House, 2025), is a love letter to that mission.

I’ve been named a Forbes Trailblazer of Tech, one of the Top 100 Women of the Future, and was nominated Woman of the Year by the Orange County Business Journal. In 2025, I joined the World Economic Forum in Davos as a Web3 delegate.

✈️ Outside of business, I’ve explored 45 countries and counting, with a goal of reaching 80 in my lifetime—because the world is my classroom, and I believe success should be deeply lived, not just earned.
