VALERIE JANE SOLIVEN
Rockwell Land Corp.
Rockwell Land Corp., with its flagship mixed-use community in Makati City, has begun expanding into other cities and regions around the Philippines in the last decade—establishing its much awaited presence in key locations such as Laguna, Batangas, Cebu, Bacolod and Pampanga.
Such success would not have been achieved without the key players who played a vital role in Rockwell Land’s growth and that includes the company’s president and chief operating officer, Valerie Jane L. Soliven.
Soliven is a licensed broker and one of Rockwell Land’s pioneers. Described as elegant, poised, and highly professional by those who have worked with her, she contributed to Rockwell Land’s status as one of the Philippines’ leading real estate development corporations since its inception in 1995.
Soliven started working with Rockwell Land in 1996 as an assistant sales manager. During her first years, she experienced how the Asian financial crisis had sent economies reeling. Back then, Rockwell Land was a new industry player, yet to establish its reputation.
From being an assistant sales manager, she rose the ranks and became a senior vice president for residential development and vice president for sales and marketing. She was later promoted to become Rockwell Land’s executive vice president and chief revenue officer for the Residential Development Team in 2018. Regarded as a coach and mentor to many senior executives she led, Soliven has the confidence that comes with years of honing her talents and skills for her chosen career. She earned a degree in hotel and restaurant administration from the University of the Philippines. She also finished the Leadership Excellence through Awareness and Practice Program at INSEAD Singapore and the Management Development Program at the Asian Institute of Management.
In the early years of her career, she held posts at the Manila Garden Suites, Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, and Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore as a hotelier. These experiences helped her later when she joined Rockwell Land, where she was mentored by its now chairman and chief executive officer, Nestor J. Padilla.
As a result of constant learning and honing her skill, she has contributed to Rockwell Land’s current position as one of the Philippines’ most premier real estate development companies.
