Founder and CEO, Multisys Technologies Corporation
His is a quintessential Filipino success story. Despite having earned a Computer Science degree from the University of Cordilleras, David Almirol was once based abroad and desperate for work. Janitor, cashier, forklift operator—he’s worn all these hats. That was until he landed a programming role in the U.S. Army and Air Force Exchange Service at Camp Fallujah in Iraq. There, Almirol soaked up as much I.T. knowledge as he could, and then used it as capital to start a career back home as a programmer and systems specialist. By 2010, he had made enough to start the business that would eventually be known as MultiSys, now one of the most prominent homegrown software companies in the country.
Because MultiSys specialises in the development and integration of software and systems, it’s uniquely poised to provide the needs of businesses and government units today. Among its clients and partners are top players in e-commerce, fintech, and logistics. MultiSys also works with the public sector, and even developed software for the Philippine national government’s COVID-19 response.
