BIZ BUZZ: From Aboitiz to DICT . . . again
A former executive at the Aboitiz Group has joined the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) as undersecretary and chief of staff.
DICT announced on Thursday the appointment of Christina Faye Condez-de Sagon, who previously served as assistant vice president for external affairs for Aboitiz InfraCapital.
A source told Biz Buzz that she has yet to have specific designation as an undersecretary, however.
“Her leadership will be crucial in our efforts to drive a digital-first economy, enhanced cybersecurity, inclusive tech for all, and transparent governance,” said DICT Secretary Henry Aguda, who also previously helmed the Aboitiz-led UnionDigital Bank.
As an undersecretary, she will be tasked with implementing programs and projects aimed at improving connectivity for the country.
“It is an honor to serve the country at such a pivotal moment in our digital transformation journey,” the new official said.
Prior to the appointment, Condez-de Sagon was part of the Private Sector Advisory Council-Digital Infrastructure Secretariat, sharing her expertise in crafting digital strategies.
