America’s most trusted lifestyle expert, awardwinning TV host, entrepreneur and bestselling author

is coming to Manila on Aug. 20 for the latest leg of the ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel’s Leadership Series at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza.

The 18-time Emmy Award winner and successful businesswoman, who was named one of Forbes’ 100 Greatest Living Business Minds in 2017, will share her story of success and business philosophy to the country’s business executives, entrepreneurs and students in a forum moderated by Karen Davila.

Before becoming the “how-to” guru on all things home and living, Martha developed her early business training as a stockbroker. She ventured into a successful catering business known for her elegant presentation and recipes and went on to publish best-selling books like Entertaining, Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook and Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook. She later published the magazine Martha Stewart Living, which became the basis for her hit TV series of the same name.

Martha went on to build Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, which offers consumers thousands of retail products, TV and video programming, awardwinning magazines, bestselling books, innovative websites and apps. The brand features an extensive range of product categories available in various retailers including Amazon, Macy’s, Staples, Michael’s, QVC and more. Martha also founded the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Medical Center in 2007 and recently opened a second location at Mount Sinai-Union Square.

She has continued to expand her brand and appear in numerous TV shows, including Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party with rapper Snoop Dog, and Food Network cooking competition Chopped as a guest judge.
