JG Summit Holdings, Inc. is accelerating its digital transformation by expanding its collaboration with Darwinbox, an AI-powered, mobile-first human capital management (HCM) platform. The strategic move is designed to unify HR systems, enhance workforce capabilities, and future-proof the organization amid rapidly evolving business demands.
The partnership aims to modernize how JG Summit—one of the Philippines’ leading conglomerates—manages talent across its ecosystem. By integrating AI-driven automation, centralized data, and smart workflows, the company expects to significantly improve employee experience, reduce administrative burdens, and align workforce development with broader corporate goals.
“Our expanded partnership with Darwinbox empowers us to harness AI-driven automation and insights, enabling greater efficiency and effectiveness,” said Lance Y.

According to Gulliver Go, chief human resources officer of JG Summit, the collaboration will provide HR teams with deeper insights through AI, enabling more personalized approaches to talent development and retention. The system also promises enhanced decision-making through streamlined access to consolidated workforce data.
Darwinbox, recognized as a challenger in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites, continues to expand its footprint in Southeast Asia. Its platform now includes over 45 Gen-AI features, a multi-country payroll solution for the Philippines, and a pioneering agentic-AI-compatible architecture, making it a cutting-edge choice for large enterprises.
