Gino’s romance with IT services started when he first took a job at LogicaCMG, an international IT firm, as an Applications Consultant supporting SAP Plant Maintenance MAM for a utility company in the United Kingdom. Later on, he joined the Food Group of Ramcar Group of Companies, a Philippine enterprise empire which owns several massive companies including Motolite, Kaisa, KFC Philippines, Tokyo Tokyo and Mister Donut. Over the next 3 years, Gino took on various roles such as a Business Systems Analyst, a Jr. Project Manager and an IT Governance Lead. He ended his stint there as the Head of a 70-person support group managing thousands of nodes across the Philippines.
Immediately thereafter, Gino worked directly under Barrett Comiskey (inventor of various products including E-ink, the screen used on Kindle) at Migo Philippines, a media startup with a disruptive distribution model. After spending almost a year leading the IT support group of Migo, Gino joined Appetite Labs where he is presently the General Manager.
