The first president of ISOG was also the ring-leader who set things in motion when ISOG was first conceptualized. Mr. Manuel Joey Regala, is currently the First Vice President and Chief Informational Security & Data Protection Officer of East West Banking Corporation. Joey has a strong and extensive profile spanning over 30 years in Information Technology and IT Security on Financial Systems.
He currently serves as the founding president of ISOG. He has given his all in running the organization since its inception and was the driving force in its success in paving the way for the achievement of its goals. He has decided to step down and hand over the helm of ISOG, to someone who is expected to fill in the shoes that Joey will be leaving behind. The new president will be adding his own leadership brand in bringing ISOG farther, and higher, in its quest to attain its goals.
A big thank you was given by the ISOG Board of Trustees for the more than six years of unwavering service Joey has rendered to the organization as its president. Moving forward, Joey will remain as the Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees.
Mr. Archieval B. Tolentino, or simply Archie to friends, took the GREAT SHIFT, accepted the challenge, and aims to continue the legacy, with a new mark of leadership.
The current ISOG president is the Chief IT Security Officer of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP), an MBA holder, 2017 Chief Security Officer IDG Asia awardee, with certificates in COBIT, ITIL, ISMS, Resilia, and one of the founding members of the organization. He believes that in order to achieve a truly secured network infrastructure, a perfect balance of people, process, and technology should be established.
