With a user base of more than 94 million—larger than the population of Germany—GCash is arguably the most popular Filipino finance app. Launched in 2004, GCash began as an SMSbased money-transfer service catering to the Philippines’s large underbanked population. Users could deposit cash into their ewallets for a small transaction fee at convenience stores and pawnshops, and then use that e-cash to make purchases on their phones. GCash’s services have since grown and now include credit, remittance, and investments, and are used in 16 countries and territories. Martha Sazon, ranked No. 38 on the Fortune Most Powerful Women Asia list this year, joined Mynt as president and CEO in June 2020. GCash’s popularity soared during the pandemic as Filipinos avoided handling cash. Well over half of GCash’s users are women, and almost all are lower-or middle-income.

Singaporean venture capitalist Jenny Lee’s track record features the biggest names in Asian tech, including e-commerce giant Alibaba, ride-hailing companies Didi and Grab, and phone maker Xiaomi. Yet Lee’s path to becoming one of Asia’s most prominent venture capitalists started in the hangars of Singapore’s air force, as an engineer working on fighter-jet engines. That hands-on experience helps her today as an investor, giving her a “common language” that allows her to talk to technology entrepreneurs about projects from their conceptual stages through their final delivery. Lee got an MBA from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management right at the nadir of the dotcom bust in 2001. But that only encouraged her: “It can’t get worse, right?” she says. She borrowed 300,000 Singapore dollars ($220,000) to reimburse the firm that paid for her business degree and moved to Hong Kong to tap into the booming Chinese internet sector. She set up GGV Capital’s first China office in 2005. Almost two decades later, as the senior managing partner behind Granite Asia—a spinoff of GGV Capital with $5 billion in assets under management—Lee ranks No. 33 on the Fortune Most Powerful Women Asia list.

At the turn of the 20th Century, one could expect to live until 47 in the U.S. Now, medical advancements, like vaccines and antibiotics, and public health initiatives have increased life expectancy in the U.S. to 77 years old and 73 globally. While health conditions and systemic barriers like socioeconomic inequities and environmental conditions play a role in how long you live, researchers are finding that through individual lifestyle modifications and precision medicine, there are ways to counter the mechanisms behind aging to potentially help people live even longer and healthier. “Healthy longevity medicine is not science fiction anymore,” Dr. Andrea B. Maier, a professor in medicine and functional aging at the National University of Singapore, told Fortune. Read more from Fortune Well: https://lnkd.in/e6b74KSK

Mitsuko Tottori is the first female chief executive in Japan Airlines' 73-year history. Unlike her male predecessors, many of whom graduated from elite Tokyo University, Tottori attended a little-known junior college for women and began her career as a flight attendant. But if Tottori’s ascent is a breakthrough for Japanese women, in another sense, its novelty highlights the extraordinary durability of Japan’s glass ceiling. Of the 1,836 companies listed on the top-tier “prime” section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, only 15 were led by women, or less than 1%, according to a January 2023 report by credit research firm Teikoku Databank. On Japanese boards, women occupy 13% of the seats at the exchange’s prime market companies, compared with 32% and 33% respectively for firms listed on the U.S.’s Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange, and 40% at companies trading on European exchanges. Make no mistake: Asia has an abundance of talented female business leaders. Fortune’s new Most Powerful Women Asia list recognizes 100 of them, chosen from a roster of executives and entrepreneurs that gets deeper every year.

Mortgage rates may remain stuck in a narrow range around current levels and won’t drop sharply anytime soon. Ahead of the Federal Reserve’s rate cut, mortgage rates had fallen tantalizingly close to what some considered the “magic number” of 6% that would revive a stagnant housing market marked by low inventory and the lock-in effect. Since the central bank unveiled that long-anticipated cut last month, however, mortgages rates have actually climbed along with long-term Treasury yields. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZqmp-kC

#COOSummit members learned that horses can teach us a great deal about leadership. Equine-assisted learning is used in a business context to teach collaborative working styles and ways to create a culture of psychological safety. Conference attendees received a hands-on equine communication masterclass in Middleburg, VA to learn how lessons from “horse whispering” can transfer back to leadership in their organizations.
