It has been proven around the world the world-class talent of every Filipino. We have heard a lot of praises on our capabilities in the global arena. It is something that everyone of us can be proud of. Filipinos are known to be hard-workers so it is possible to really reach the top.
Another Filipina has made a name in her chosen field of endeavor. She is a Fil-Aussie named Melanie Perkins who is the CEO behind the aggressively growing graphic design tool "Canva". She has been known as the youngest billionaire in Australia. She started her entrepreneurial passion when she was still 22 years old together with her fiance Cliff Obrecht.
In this pandemic period, Canva has been widely use since everyone is encouraged to just stay and work at home. They release a new feature on video so they can help employees on their home set-up while working at home. Canva is known for its user-friendliness and in this lockdown it has an addition of $60 million valuation and a new total valuation of $6billion. It reaches a total net worth of $2.5 billion making the CEO Melanie Perkins as the richest woman in Australia.
With Melanie's wealth, she says that one can be a successful entrepreneur when one has a passion on solving people's problem. She still continue to strive to make the company continue on soaring.
Today, Melanie has open a Canva Business office not just in Sydney but also in Beijing and in Makati, Philippines.
