MEET TEAM TAO

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

Julio D. Sy Jr.

Tao Corporation Founder & President
Jun Sy is a passionate entrepreneur who believes in businesses with a purpose. A frustrated rocker and cook, Jun runs his business with a mix of eastern philosophy (the Tao Way) and western professional management discipline. While appearing serious, he is not taken seriously at home. His kids call him “The Plug” for his penchant for solving everyone’s problems.

Director of Information Management and Head of Treasury
A home-grown talent of Tao, Cristine Roquim rose from the ranks from Accounting Manager in 1995 to Chief Finance Officer. In the past few years, she has combined Finance and her passion to provide instantaneous data with the use of technology to create dashboards and system-generated reports used in the regular business reviews. Cristine’s other passions are that of being a weekend baker-wannabe to her family and sometimes a weekend warrior with her bonsais and is a staunch recycling advocate striving towards a zero-waste lifestyle.
