AirAsia Philippines CFO to future leaders: Success is about giving, not gaining

Tweet

Success goes beyond the material things in life, and lies in the value of giving, not gaining. Thus said AirAsia Philippines Chief Financial Officer Ray C. Berja in the latest episode of Orange Chair, a social media series by UBX, the Philippines’ leading Open Finance Platform, featuring today’s top thought leaders and influencers.

“There can only be so much to gain and at the end of the day, it’s about sharing your life, and being an inspiration to others”, noted Berja, who was the pioneering Managing Director of airasia Superapp Philippines.

“I think life is all about giving, not gaining. Being successful is not about how much money there is in your bank account, or about how big or how many houses you have, or followers you have in social media. I think success is more than that. Success is the ability to help others, to empower others. It is a long and continuous pursuit in life,” he said.

Berja also advised future leaders to be hungry in “Rs:” Results and Respect.

He said budding leaders should be able to deliver on their promises to their stakeholders, while respecting each person equally – no matter their status in life. Both of which circles back to his Northstar philosophy of “giving not gaining.”

His story started in a small town in Cagayan, where his mother single handedly raised him and ran a humble karinderya to sustain their daily needs. His mother, whom Berja describes as strong and courageous, also served as an important role model in his life and guided him as he grew up.

After graduating from high school from University of St. Louis of Tuguegarao, he entered the Philippine Military Academy but eventually returned home after realizing that it was not the path he wanted to pursue. Wanting to excel in life, and with only P3,000 in his pocket, Berja was inspired to go to Manila, which called out to him as a big city full of possibilities.

In the capital, he initially worked as a striker for police officers. Eventually, as they discovered his proficiency for simple data processing tasks on the computer, they made him do clerical work until he was doing more and more important tasks for higher ranking officials. It was during this time that Berja decided he wanted to pursue a college degree. He eventually earned the title of Certified Public Accountant after passing the board exam and finishing his accountancy degree from Philippine School of Business Administration QC. Ray continued his lifelong pursuit to learn and get better; he completed his MBA from Ateneo Graduate School of Business and Regis University, Diploma in Fintech from Said Business School Oxford University, Certified Management Accountant from Australia, and Certified Financial Consultant from Canada.

Berja’s humble beginnings are integral to who he is as a person and as a professional to this day.

“It taught me a lot about hard work, commitment, and integrity in all pursuits,” he said.

To date, Berja has many awards under his name. He was named FinTech CFO of the Year and Best Aviation CFO of the Global CFO Excellence Awards in 2019 and 2020. He was also included in the inaugural list of Philippines’ Top 30 Leaders on LinkedIn in 2022 and Aspire Top 50 Finance Leaders in SEA. But while he holds his current position as one of the top executives of the world's best low-cost airline, Berja’s journey is unlike any other.

Faith has also been one of his pillars in life. Despite his many responsibilities and his continued success in management and business, he is also a published author. In 2021, he released “Faith and Grace Everyday”, a 365-day devotional walkthrough inspired by his life experiences during the pandemic and his overall journey.

“When you hit the ground so hard, you can only bounce back the highest you ever can. The trust I had in God, it empowered me and helped me do that,” Berja said.

At the end of the day, faith is a central theme in his success story. More than the spiritual aspect, he credits his achievement to his family and all the other people who supported him along the way.

“The good thing is, someone has to guide you. In my journey in life, many people have helped me. Despite my many mistakes and flaws, I had many people who believed in me,” he shared. He also advised aspiring leaders to do the same, and to always give back regardless of where their work can take them.

“You never know, they could be someone someday,” Berja said.

Orange Chair is a Youtube series developed by UBX, the leading Open Finance Platform in the Philippines, which showcases inspiring corporate stories that give audiences business insights, enabling the company to further drive its goal of including everyone.

As 2023 shapes up to be another banner year for the company, Golden Haven proudly reports on the rapid progress in the development of Golden Haven Iligan, which, less than a year since its memorable launch on October 28, 2022, is fast transforming into one of the company’s most picturesque memorial parks, embodying the brand's promise of beauty and tranquility.

Y.O.U Beauty Together With Mr. Tadahiro Shimada Developed A Skincare Series That Is Oily And Sensitive Skin Friendly

Tweet

The beauty of Asian skin is as diverse as the continent itself. Genetics and climate play a huge role in how the skin behaves and responds. Only by understanding these factors can beauty brands understand the importance of tailor-fitting and formulating products that address the unique requirements of Asian skin.

From the humid tropical regions of Southeast Asia to the cold, dry climate of Northeast Asia, the wide expanse of the Asian continent is home to more than half of the world’s population– bringing with them incredible beauty and diversity.

For international beauty brand, Y.O.U Beauty, taking care of Asian skin by formulating products tailored and suited for the various needs has been its goal from day one. This is why, together with renowned Japanese cosmetic research and development expert and former R&D Director of Shiseido Global Tadahiro Shimada, Y.O.U Beauty created the Radiance Glow–a skincare series for those with oily, combination and sensitive skin.

“The Radiance Glow series are products we developed for people with oily, combination, and sensitive skin to deliver a gentle-yet-effective brightening solution and help them achieve that healthy glass skin,” said Mike Cabbo, Y.O.U Beauty Brand Manager for the Philippines. 

“At Y.O.U Beauty, we believe in providing effective and accessible beauty products that will allow our customers to be as beautiful as they feel. We are honored to have worked with Mr. Shimada for our new product line as his decades-long expertise and knowledge about Asian skincare and beauty allowed us to create the Radiance Glow series.”

Made for the Sensitive Skin

Y.O.U Beauty’s Radiance Glow line was formulated in Japan and involves five products that will get you that healthy glass skin glow in as early as 10 Days.

“Asian skin is more prone to sensitivity due to a thinner stratum corneum–making it easily irritated due to harsh chemical ingredients in skincare,” Mike explained. “Oily, combination, and sensitive skin are common skin types in Asia, and its diverse weather conditions, as well as genetics, contribute to how our skin behaves and interacts with the ingredients we put on our face. This is why it’s vital for any beauty and personal care players to understand Asian skin conditions and formulate products that will address these concerns.”

Every product in the Radiance Glow line is formulated with the new Mizu Glow Technology which allows for mild and high-efficiency skin brightening. It contains Sakura extract which helps reduce melanin production for a lighter complexion while promoting softer & smoother skin, 99% pure Niacinamide that minimize pores and C-three Complex that is 7x more brightening than 10% Vitamin C.

Steps for getting that Radiant Glow

Ready for that radiant glow? Here’s how Y.O.U Beauty’s Radiance Glow line can help you achieve your beauty goals:

Cleanse

A great skincare routine starts with a clean face. Use the gentle-yet-powerful Radiance Glow Purifying Facial Foam (P299) to effectively cleanse and brighten your complexion without stripping your skin barrier. The facial foam contains Amino Acids to maintain skin moisture and reduce that skin-tightening feeling after cleansing.

Prep

Prep your skin to ensure that the products will reach their maximum effectivity with the Radiance Glow Toner Essence (P329). It’s supercharged with C-three Complex, Niacinamide, Sakura Extract, and Panthenol to help brighten the complexion and retain moisture for visibly plumper and glowing skin. Plus, it’s lightweight and does not leave your skin feeling sticky.

Boost

Take that step towards glowing glass skin with the Radiance Glow Illuminating Serum (P499). Formulated with multiple brightening actives including C-three Complex, Niacinamide, and Sakura Extract, this lightweight serum reduces skin dullness for healthy glowing skin. It also contains Bisabolol to help calm the skin and strengthen the skin barrier which is great for those days when your skin is breaking out or is being extra sensitive.

Protect + Repair

Lock in all the goodness with the Radiance Glow Advanced Day Cream (P469) and the Radiance Glow Active Night Gel (P469). Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with the Radiance Glow Advanced Day Cream, a lightweight, non-greasy cream equipped with sunscreen agents and enriched with C-three Complex, Niacinamide, Sakura Extract, and Bisabolol to effectively brighten and calm skin so you can get that healthy, glowing complexion.

End your day with the Radiance Glow Active Night Gel that’s infused with lavender for that extra relaxing effect. It also contains C-three Complex, Niacinamide, Sakura Extract, and Panthenol so you wake up with radiant and supple skin in the morning.

The key to getting that radiant, glowing skin lies in ensuring that you’re using the product suited for your skin type and needs. The Radiance Glow Series is available in YOU Beauty official Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop or visit select Watsons, SM Beauty, Robinsons Department Stores, Gaisano Capital Group, Prince Retail Group, KCC, Mart One and The Landmark.
