Krie Reyes-Lopez, Founder and CEO, Messy Bessy

Like many other CEOs, Krie Reyes-Lopez, on the other hand, could have focused on reaping the fruits of profit and income. But that was far from her heart. She instead centered on social welfare and women inclusivity and has received widespread acclaim for her efforts.

Reyes-Lopez has evolved the ‘Messy Bessy’ brand from a successful cleaning and personal care product line into a full-fledged development program that provides training, counselling, and education for women. She is a prime example of a master builder and many lives are now the better for it.

Ann and Billie Dumaliang, Managing Trustees of Masungi Georeserve

For Billie and Ann Dumaliang, the lure of success would have taken them down a much different path.

But in the sisters’ heart was a commitment to environmental sustainability and cultivating that passion, in others as well. The struggle to protect the Masungi Georeserve was difficult and dangerous, to say the least, but the sisters believe that one has to be brave in pursuing their purpose.
