I Believe In Leadership By Example
The CEO Magazine Asia|June 2019

As Deputy Ceo and Senior Executive Vice President of Armscor Global Defense, Gina Marie Angangco Has Been Described as the “heart of the Company”.

I Believe In Leadership By Example
For more than 20 years, Deputy CEO and Senior Executive Vice President Gina Marie Angangco has dedicated herself to Armscor Global Defense, in spite of the difficulties faced by a woman in a primarily male industry. Initially working for the manufacturer’s holding company as a comptroller, she’s risen through the ranks, holding multiple senior roles, including President and CEO of Armscor’s retail-focused subsidiary. Given the persistence of the gender gap, Gina’s career to date is quite an achievement.

“Despite being in a male-dominated environment, I’ve managed to maintain my femininity and personality,” she says. “I’ve gained the respect of my colleagues and industry partners, while bringing in a culture of excellence and open-mindedness at work. With humility, a spirit of service and spiritual strength, I’ve tried to encourage others to embrace those same principles. More women are entering this field.”

It’s easy to see why Gina has been referred to as the “heart of the company” by Chairman Emeritus Demetrio Tuason; praise that Gina considers a great honour. After all, the satisfaction and passion of the Armscor team are among her greatest concerns.

“I believe in leadership by example,” she explains, “and opening the lines of communication so the team understands the mission and the various options to reach the mission. Armscor promotes a family atmosphere that cultivates loyalty and cooperation.”
