Get to know me
Jay is currently the Head for New Media under the Presidential Communications Operations Office of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines.
Jay Jaboneta is a hungry man. He eats at least a 100 books a year, loves chocolate and sometimes can't live without coffee. He is working and has worked for organizations as diverse as the Philippine Government, Procter & Gamble, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (including Metrobank Card Corporation), and Diethelm Keller SiberHegner (DKSH).
He has worked as a sales manager managing over 70 people, managed category management and retail operations for a range of brands for a national supermarket chain, and as a portfolio manager got cardholders to spend more. He has in many instances, climbed insurmountable “mountains.”
In his past life, he has graduated on top of his class, has built an entire organization of young entrepreneurs from scratch in his university, and was born again after “drowning.”
As much as Jay loves to read, he also loves to write. His main goal in life is to stay hungry, stay foolish (Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Graduation Speech). Learning comes as much (if not more) from mistakes and failures than from victories and successes.
He believes in God and practices Zen Catholicism – his own brand of Catholicism. He believes life is a complicated phenomenal mystery and that it can never be explained in totality.
Jay loves to help people, companies, non-profits and brands breathe life into their brand story. He believes remarkable people and organizations deserve the attention of the world.
