Published July 14, 2021, 10:20 AM Love for Technology and Passion for Education A lucky combination: his love for technology and his passion for education may very well be a good marriage of sorts. It was technology that became the winning anchor in transforming the many ways in which we do our banking these days. Addressing financial inclusivity in the process, UnionBank’s Henry Aguda helped bring this access to anyone and everyone who has a smartphone to enjoy the service that literally any Juan can attest to the ease of use, with the increasing market share as proof of that. Henry never left the academy. He always had the role of being a professor apart from being an executive. This led to his involvement with institutions across the country either as a guest speaker, panel or lecturer. Henry teaches technology at UP Diliman’s Technology Management Center and Global Learning Solutions Singapore’s Asian Institute of Digital Transformation while doing his own effort in bridging the digital divide. Say something about the man who envisions a more progressive Philippines through the use of digital and sustaining the access to education. Sure, he may have gone to the US to try things out but UnionBank came and he ended up doing something meaningful – and to this day continues to do so, but with a bigger and richer perspective now.
