ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Floyd Sijmons
CEO, Founder, and Business Mentor
While finishing up his Msc. in Strategic Management, Floyd fell, by accident, into an internship in Amsterdam at what was to quickly become the fastest growing company in the history of the world: Groupon.
Within 10 months and several steps in between he was promoted to Head of Deal Quality for 48 countries, lived in 6 countries in the next 2.5 years and had every interim executive position from Head of Sales Ops, Revenue Management, Sales, and even unofficial interim-CEO all over Europe, Russia, and even in South Africa.
It didn’t end there; the next position would be CEO for a financial platform in Malaysia, after which he grew Helping Netherlands to be the most profitable, 2nd largest, and fastest growing entity of the group.
Last year he 10x an Android app in the US within 10 months, growing it to significant profitability with minimal investment.
Having a Rocket Internet background, growth and execution are in his bones. His personal philosophy is that this is only achieved by focus & selective prioritization, while empowering the people you work with to get ahead faster than any competitor.

Ramon Gahob, Jr.
Financial Education Campaigner
Ramon was studying at FDU when an old friend from back in the Philippines reached out and invited him over to a financial class teaching how to save for your future. This intrigued him, but decided to carry on, and completed his Master in Administrative Science in late 2017.
Upon graduation, the challenge of finding gainful employment, add to the fact that he had been working 2 to 3 jobs at once even as a student, was becoming too much to handle.
He reached out to his old friend again in 2018, and learned that the same workshop he once attended had changed families all over North America through financial education.
He later left his other jobs to keep one job full time, and joined the campaign.
Initially it was to learn for himself how money works. From there he saw the campaign with a meaningful sense of purpose, and has now become part of a movement to educate and build a new industry based on applied knowledge and empowering families to have solid financial futures.
