Filipina tech entrepreneur lands in Asia 21 Young Leaders

Filipina tech entrepreneur Stephanie Sy landed in the prestigious Asia 21 Young Leaders' list this year.

Sy is the founder of Thinking Machines, a data science firm that works with various sectors and has grown "to become Manila's best data science firm and a regional contender," according to Asia Society.

Already on its 13th year, Asia Society, an educational organization, has chosen 39 individuals under the age of 40 from all over the Asia-Pacific region who possess great leadership and dedication to public service to become part of the Asia 21 Young Leaders.

Aside from Sy, Karen Tay (Singapore), Zen Cho (Malaysia), Franz Heng (Cambodia), Gita Syahrani (Indonesia), Van Ngoc Ta (Vietnam), and May Sripatanaskul (Thailand) were included in this year's list.

Chosen leaders of the initiative will be gathering in the United States this coming November at the annual Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit.

Last year, Sy was also named under Forbes' "30 under 30 Asia" list. — LA, GMA News
