Lazada Philippines on Wednesday renewed its commitment to support the growth of Filipino entrepreneurs.
“What we do at Lazada is simple: we build entrepreneurs and make selling easy for everyone,” Carlos Barrera, chief executive of Lazada Philippines, said.
Consistent with helping foster entrepreneurship, Lazada partnered with actress Gabbi Garcia to launch Sandy and Shine, a jewelry and accessories brand inspired by Gabbi’s passion for fashion.
“We’re very excited to take this next step with Gabbi, who has partnered with Lazada throughout the years on livestreams and LazBeauty, and launching her first brand with us just last year,” Barrera said.
“By investing in our sellers, we get to grow a vibrant marketplace where buyers can access a wide assortment of quality products and get the best possible online shopping experience,” he added.
Mishie de la Cruz, head of affiliates at Lazada Philippines, echoed this sentiment, expressing support for Gabbi’s entrepreneurial journey “every step of the way”.
Gabbi encouraged aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams fearlessly, emphasizing the importance of passion and a great support system from platforms like Lazada.
“When you meet people who give you the right support, don’t be afraid and just go for it. Especially if it’s something that you’re passionate about and makes your heart flutter”, Gabbi said.
Lazada’s collaboration with Garcia exemplifies their commitment to empower individuals and turn their entrepreneurial dreams into reality.
The recent launch of the Sandy and Shine Official Flagship Store on LazMall marked a significant milestone, with Garcia actively involved in curating product range.
