She's definitely more than a pretty face....
I first chanced upon this pretty regal and young CEO around this same month just last year. She was one of the speakers at the Asia Leaders Forum on Green Infrastructure and the government’s build build program. Indeed, she is a woman of substance.
To make a difference, one must have the passion and determination to not just achieve business goals, but also contribute to society through service that influences the lives of those around. This is what drove Architect Kaydee Velasco, CEO of Vi Group of Companies, to grow a family that serves and helps.
The Vi Group of Companies consists of subsidiaries that share the mission and vision of envisioning a world of innovation through the creation of a sustainable and resilient business ecosystem that goes beyond its own interests. The Group aims to empower the future through its world-class endeavors and corporate social responsibility.
This 2020, Velasco placed prime importance in
contributing and supporting the cause for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
especially the frontliners. Donation drives and other efforts are done by the
Group to aid those in need. The Group also aligned early during the quarantine
their goals and strategies to keep its employees motivated and on track. Budget
reallocation was also done to support employees as well as more CSR projects. “This pandemic has hit the industries, more
so families and individuals within and outside companies. This is an
opportunity for us to rise up to what’s happening and help each other out in any
way that we can. No effort is too small to alleviate the lives of others at
this time.”
Velasco also continues to do start-up company support through mentorship, collaborations with
SMEs, and utilization and promotion of local products. The Group also collaborates
with foundations and schools for donation drives.
“Through
our efforts, we want to inspire others – not just the leaders. It’s a
collective effort among us Filipinos. It is our responsibility to look out for
one another, as a nation,” added Velasco.

Velasco likewise encourages everyone, through her projects, to be involved in the creation and support of various Sustainability programs and developments that would benefit the economy and environment. Throughout the years, her efforts and work earned her numerous awards including the prestigious “Young CEO Awards from the Asia Leaders Awards.”
