A graduate of the University of Santo Tomas, Lozada has a 20-year experience in executive and management positions in the private sector. He assumed the post of president and CEO of PhilForest, a corporate arm of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, in 2004.

Lozada hails from Ligao City in Albay. He is also a golfer and plays in the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club at least once a week.

He is also the developer of Theft Apprehension and Asset Recovery Application (TARA App), an anti-theft smartphone app that activates the kill switch activation and a loud shout alarm if thieves stole the cellphone.[1]
