Xperto CEO Bagged PFPA Award for Exceptional Digital Tech Innovation

Xperto, a Philippine-based tech startup company that develops digital solutions for lifelong learning and professional organizations, has announced that its CEO, Engr. Emmanuel Caguimbal, has received the prestigious Philippine Federation of Professional Associations (PFPA) Award for his outstanding contributions to his field. PFPA Award recognizes Filipino professionals who have made significant contributions to their respective fields and aims to leverage the expertise of professionals in both the government and private sectors to enhance the quality of life of Filipinos.

Caguimbal's vision of developing digital solutions blossomed after he experienced frustrating issues attending conferences, such as delayed starts, registration issues, technical glitches, and inadequate staffing caused by limited manpower and a lack of technology for planning and managing professional development events. Xperto’s team of developers innovated a web-based platform that hosts virtual events for professionals and students, which includes end-to-end services such as registration, payment collection, virtual event platform setup, and certification.

Through his sense of urgency and innovation, Caguimbal's vision led Xperto to be at the forefront of the digital transformation of professional organizations in the Philippines. Their three core services, namely, Xperto Event Management System (XEMS) are used for events through automated registration and benefits higher attendee engagement, fast and secure payments as well as networking opportunities. Second is the Xperto Association Management System (XAMS) which simplifies member registration and management. Third is the Xperto Credentialing Management System (XCMS) which streamlines the process of applying for and issuing credentials while leveraging blockchain technology to enhance security.

Currently, Xperto is expanding its services to further professional societies in the health, business, natural, and built environments. Its plan is to service other professional communities, sororities, fraternities, and alumni associations. In fact, Xperto achieved a significant milestone by being selected as one of the Top 14 startups among the ninth cohort of IdeaSpace's Flagship Accelerator Program and received recognition as one of the beneficiaries of the DOST-PCIEERD Startup Grant Fund Program. These noteworthy accomplishments in the past demonstrates Xperto's potential to make a more remarkable impact in the industry.

Xperto's success story is a testament to the growing trend of digital solution platforms in the Philippines that allow professional organizations to thrive in the modern world. Engr. Caguimbal believes that behind their success, one good entrepreneur should have a solid understanding of technology, business mathematics, and good people skills. What started as Caguimbal's vision turned into a fruitful passion and is now recognized by the PFPA as a notable contribution to Filipino advancement and innovation.

With this award, Xperto continues to drive innovation, develop digital solutions, and provide unparalleled services to its customers, making a significant contribution to the advancement of the Philippines.
