I have known Leif for more than a decade and I have seen him grow his organization/company from relatively small business to a large corporation today. I believe this is due among other things, for his ability to actually listen to and absorb new ideas and implement this in his business. He also is quite generous in sharing his knowledge to others. I have invited Leif in the past to help our office (the then ICT Office, now Department of Information and Communications Technology) to support our capacity building initiatives for our stakeholders and provide inspiration during our advocacy events. This has greatly helped in advancing our advocacies in promoting digital jobs as a mechanism for our citizens to have greater access to economic opportunities.

Hyzen B. Cabilitasan

Business Development Manager / Virtual Workforce Professionals Inc

In December 2019, you offered me an opportunity that I never imagined I would have, especially given that I lacked the formal qualifications, like a degree, typically required for such a role. But you believed in my abilities even more than I did. You not only guided me but also shaped my journey into the world of sales. You instilled confidence in me, always reminding me that setbacks are just stepping stones and that failure isn’t the end—it's a part of growth. “Keep trying until you succeed,” you would say, and those words stuck with me. Because of you, I’ve learned perseverance and built the confidence I needed to thrive. While there’s so much more I’m grateful for, I want to take this moment to sincerely thank you for instilling that unwavering determination in me. 


What stands out the most about your approach to leadership is your ability to recognize the potential in others, empowering them to grow into leaders themselves. You genuinely believe in each person's capabilities, and that belief is what I consider true empowerment. Additionally, you're never afraid to embrace new ideas or take calculated risks. Trial and error, case studies, and exploring suggestions are always part of your mindset as you continuously push for greater innovation. Your willingness to experiment and adapt sets you apart and drives the success of those around you. 


You’ve helped me in so many ways, but the most significant impact has been enabling me to achieve a level of success I never imagined—both personally and professionally. That forward-thinking direction has shaped not just our collaboration, but my entire approach to work and life.
