Tycoon Lance Gokongwei has taken the helm as chair of listed technology firm PhilWeb Corp., as the company ramps up its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered infrastructure business.
His election ends PhilWeb’s management restructuring following Gokongwei’s P2.02-billion strategic equity investment and his appointment to the firm’s board in July.
On Friday, PhilWeb said the leadership change would support the large-scale rollout of its commercial online-led, business-to-business AI-enabled technology roadmap.
Under Gokongwei’s oversight, the company plans to accelerate the deployment of its enterprise AI layer as it positions itself as an institutional-grade digital gaming solutions provider.
‘Our objective is clear: to deploy institutional-grade, AI-powered infrastructure that establishes a new operational standard for security and compliance across the regulated digital ecosystem,’ Gokongwei said.
PhilWeb’s technology currently supports licensed operators and integrated resorts including Okada Manila, Hann Casino, Newport World Resorts and Nustar Resort and Casino. It also works with global content providers such as Pragmatic Play and Games Global
