RCBC executive bags triple LinkedIn wins

RCBC’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva was feted with three recognitions for thought leadership having been included in prestigious lists by premier careeroriented social platform LinkedIn.

The multi-awarded executive was included in the Top 100 FIlipinos on LinkedIn, Philippines’ Top 30 Leaders on LinkedIn, and Top Finance Leader under the LinkedIn Leadership Catalysts Awards 2023.

Mr. Villanueva was selected after demonstrating the award-giving body’s core values of integrity, empathy, courage, inspiration, and resilience. He also bested other leaders after putting spotlight on RCBC’s multiawarded and hyperscale digital and financial inclusion initiatives anchored on “Innovations with Empathy” campaign.

The Philippines’ Top Filipino Leaders on LinkedIn is an initiative organized by IMS Learning & Consulting, Coach Anda, and VB Consulting.

The RCBC executive is the person behind RCBC’s innovative and multiawarded digital solutions at scale: the world’s first multilingual financial inclusion application RCBC Diskartech; hyper-personalized mass affluent digital banking app RCBC Pulz; the Philippines’ first and largest bankagnostic ATM network, RCBC ATM Go; and the country’s first phygital or physical-digital banking experience, RCBC Moneybela Barangayan Banking.

Mr. Villanueva said that these latest accolades serve as a motivation to continuously lead his team and the rest of the bank to new heights. He added that the awards are not only a testament to his commitment to improving banking services for Filipinos but also to the relentless dedication of his team in thinking outside the box.

“These recognitions are important platforms for us to showcase the brilliance of Filipino talents within RCBC in creating high impact inclusive digital finance solutions that are relevant to every Filipino,” said Mr. Villanueva.
