About Me PONCE ERNEST P. SAMANIEGO is Co‐founder and CEO of Outliers, a social enterprise that serves as outsourced business expertise for nonprofits in the Philippines.

Ponce co‐founded Outliers, on his senior year at the Business Administration program of the University of the Philippines. Together with a young and dynamic team, he is driven by the mission to empower Civil Society groups through the channel that they know best: business development. By merging traditional practices of aid organizations with efficient, market‐based approaches, Outliers is effectively turning charities into sustainable social businesses.

Outliers was named Philippine Winner out of 156 social businesses in the BiD Network and Citibank’s Business in Development Challenge 2010, and is supported by the Starbucks Foundation, VF (Visayan Forum Foundation), Japan Environmental Education Forum and the Global Changemakers Programme (British Council).

Ponce is a Global Changemaker (British Council), Global Shaper (World Economic Forum) and a Young Challenger (Grameen Creative Lab). As a recipient of an Erasmus Mundus Mobility with Asia Scholarship from the European Union, he spent a semester in the International Business program of the University of Warsaw (Poland) in 2009.

Serving the role of Learners’ Voice, he was a speaker at the World Innovation Summit for Education 2011 (Qatar). He is also an active environmental advocate and has represented the Philippines recently in international forums such as the ASEAN Youth for Sustainable Development (Indonesia) and UNEP’s Southeast Asia Youth Environment Network and the World Youth Summit for Volunteering (Singapore).
