Rollan has been with Microsoft for four and a half years, where he started as sales manager for enterprise accounts. Over the last four years, Rollan worked his way up and took over the helm of the enterprise business as Director of the Enterprise Partner Group. In that role, he oversaw the largest team in the subsidiary and surpassed sales expectations year after year.

“I am very excited about this opportunity to lead Microsoft Philippines,” says Rollan. “We have a strong and passionate team here in the country. We know that there are so many opportunities for our customers and for our country to benefit from technology. We will focus on helping our customers and partners optimize those opportunities. We will also continue to help build the country’s IT infrastructure and work to empower the underserved sectors.”

Rollan takes over from Antonio “TJ” Javier, Jr., who has been the Managing Director of Microsoft Philippines for  five fiscal years. Under Javier’s leadership, the subsidiary tripled its business as well as its manpower resources in the country and implemented citizenship programs designed to help aid in the country’s economic development.
 
Chris Atkinson, President for South East Asia at Microsoft said, “TJ has been instrumental in growing our Microsoft business in the Philippines and is leaving us with the business in good shape and on good terms. I wish him all the best. We will welcome him back to the company anytime.”

“Pepeng has demonstrated great leadership in his few years at Microsoft and I am confident that he will be able to take the company to greater heights with his passion, skills and talents, “Atkinson noted. “ Pepeng has been in the IT industry for 19 years and brings a wealth of experience and proven track record of vision, leadership, and successful results.  I look forward to Pepeng’s contribution and leadership in delivering service to the people of Philippines, and our mission of helping people and businesses all over the world to realize their full potential.”
