Meet Ian Paulo Cortez, the driving force behind RLI Furniture's mission and the newest addition to its leadership team, making up the "I" in RLI. Ian's journey to BNI Legacy is rooted in a deep commitment to community and a vision for showcasing Filipino craftsmanship.
As CMO, Ian is dedicated to bringing the incredible work of local artisans to a wider audience. For him, RLI Furniture is more than just a business; it's a powerful platform to provide sustainable livelihoods and uplift communities by creating jobs and celebrating the rich talent we have right here in the Philippines.
In BNI LEGACY, Ian sees a vital opportunity to amplify this mission. He believes that by fostering strong, trusting connections within the BNI network, we can collectively champion local talent, drive economic growth, and leave a meaningful impact for generations to come.
