Jade de Guzman (born Jade Typoco on May 16, 1981) is the Filipino co-founder and owner of Business Beanstalk Philippines. She earned her degree in Computer Information Systems in 3 years from Bentley College, Boston, Massachuetts in 2002. Acknowledged as the country’s Call Center Queen, she has come a long way from the modest home-business she and her husband set up in Pasig in the early 2000s, to the country's most prestigious call center in 2006.
[edit] Overview
According to the 2005 World's Richest People list of Forbes magazine, Jade de Guzman is one of the most powerful women under 30 in Asia, and the 240th in world. She is worth $1.9 million.
In recognition of her entrepreneurial excellence, Jade Typoco de Guzman has been named Management Woman of the Year by the Philippine Business Club and was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Business Management by Ateneo De Manila University. Committed to uplift the lives of her less fortunate countrymen, she organized the Doctor Dictate Foundation, which helps underprivileged but promising young Filipinos.
Business Beanstalk, which is the trademark of her business name, came from the need of small businesses to procure telemarketing and other call center services in order to grow (like the proverbial Beanstalk of Jack). Jade and her husband, Miguel de Guzman, still personally manage the business and are also owners and major stockholders of Bicol Mining Corporation.
Business Beanstalk has consistently been cited and awarded as one of the Philippines best managed call centers.
