For over a decade, Third Pillar called Corinthian Plaza its home. Within those walls, we built not just a company but a culture — forged through hallway brainstorms, late-night problem-solving, and a collective hunger to “figure things out and make them work.”

As of August 1, we officially moved into Panorama Tower in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) — a bold relocation that represents more than just a change of address. It’s a symbol of where we are headed: deeper collaboration, faster innovation, and a regional mindset powered by proximity to our strategic partners and customers

Why This Move Matters

We’re not just moving offices. We’re stepping into the heart of Metro Manila’s innovation corridor, co-locating with teams that share our vision for transformative technology and enterprise impact. With our new headquarters in BGC, Third Pillar is positioning itself to move faster, think bigger, and collaborate deeper — all while staying grounded in the same values that built our success.

What This Means for Our Customers and Partners

• No disruption, only elevation. All existing engagements, service channels, and team relationships remain unchanged — but our capabilities just leveled up.
  
• Frictionless collaboration. Working side-by-side with Yondu opens doors for joint solutions, agile delivery models, and enriched service design.
  
• Regional readiness. Being in BGC sharpens our edge in attracting talent, strengthening partnerships, and expanding our reach across Southeast Asia.
  

What This Means for Our Team

Whether you’re remote, hybrid, or onsite, our ways of working remain flexible. But for those who step into the new office, you’ll find a workspace designed for serendipity — where “collaboration” isn’t a calendar invite, it’s a way of life. The unplanned conversations, quick brainstorms, and hallway huddles are no longer accidental; they’re intentional.

This move allows us to be together more often, and better — sparking ideas that will shape the next decade of our story.

Onward, Together

Change can feel uncertain. But this isn’t about leaving behind what worked — it’s about doubling down on it, and scaling it with intention.

We’ve come a long way since our startup days. But what hasn’t changed is our relentless commitment to our customers, our people, and our mission: to unlock human and business potential through transformative technology.

We are beyond excited to welcome you to our new home in BGC.

Let’s build what’s next.
Let’s grow what matters.

2025 marks a defining moment in that journey. As businesses globally accelerate their adoption of AI-powered solutions, Third Pillar enters a new chapter of leadership and strategic growth.

Following 12 years of visionary leadership, Jennifer Ligones, Founder and President & CEO of Third Pillar, officially retired from the company on April 16, 2025. Ligones now serves as Country Manager of Google Cloud Philippines, leading the tech giant’s cloud and workplace transformation strategy in the country.

Succeeding her is Jen Garcia, formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, who now assumes the role of Chief Executive Officer. Garcia has played an integral role in Third Pillar’s expansion, overseeing key milestones such as its recognition as the top Salesforce partner in the Philippines and the successful integration into the Globe Business ecosystem.

The leadership transition has been carefully planned to ensure organizational stability and sustained momentum. Jen’s achievements during her term as CCO and COO includes Third Pillar’s status as a 4-time Salesforce Summit Partner and the only Silver Partner of DocuSign in the region—will be preserved and amplified within the larger group structure.

In 2024, the company expanded its portfolio to support sustainable, AI-driven enterprise solutions. Its strategic focus across Financial Services and Insurance, Telecommunications and Technology, and Real Estate has led to significant client engagements and long-term transformation programs.

Today Third Pillar will continue to deliver solutions in key areas such as Customer Experience (CX), CRM, Generative and Agentic AI, Strategic Portfolio Management, Contract Lifecycle Management, Automation (IDP, ML, RPA), Master Data Management, Graph Technology, and Enterprise Analytics.

With renewed leadership and expanded capabilities, Third Pillar remains positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation in the Philippines and the region.

Manila, Philippines – March 27, 2025 – Global technology service firm, NCS, announced its strategic joint venture with Globe Telecom and its Enterprise IT companies, Third PIllar and Yondu. NCS acquired a majority stake in Yondu to aid in the former’s expansion into the Asia-Pacific market and enhance its ability to provide digital, cloud, data, and AI services to its global clientele.

The joint venture will rapidly scale NCS’s Philippine workforce from 150 to over 1,200 professionals, establishing NCS as a key technology services provider in the country. By combining NCS’s global delivery capabilities with Yondu’s local expertise and resources, the partnership aims to accelerate the expansion of NCS’s Global Delivery Network.

NCS will integrate its global resources in digital, cloud, data, and AI services with Third Pillar and Yondu’s existing offerings, which include custom software development, eCommerce solutions, and cloud platforms. Following the transaction’s completion, the new entity will operate as NCS Philippines with its leaders composed of key figures from NCS, Globe, Yondu, and Third PIllar.

As one of the leading enterprise technology providers in the country, Third Pillar and its parent company, Yondu, are taking the necessary steps to preserve and expand its clientele by continuously offering excellent IT products and services. In the last year alone, Third Pillar has formed new partnerships and expanded its portfolio to include powerful new solutions, including Strategic Portfolio Management, AI-powered CX platforms, Intelligent Agreements, Fraud Analysis, and more.
This strategic collaboration between the companies comes at an opportune time. Market analysis from IDC forecasts the APAC IT services market to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.2% from 2024 to 2028, with the Philippines specifically projected to grow at 8.7% during the same period.

The transaction involves NCS, through its subsidiary NCSI Holdings, acquiring a 51% stake in Yondu. The post-transaction enterprise value of Yondu is PHP 1,868 million (approximately SGD 44 million), with NCS’s net consideration being PHP 134 million (approximately SGD 3 million), subject to net cash and debt adjustments.

This consideration is net of the PHP 818 million (approximately SGD 19 million) used by Yondu to acquire NCS’s existing subsidiary, NCSI Philippines. The transaction will be funded through existing cash and internal resources.

The closing of the transaction is contingent upon the fulfillment of specific conditions. As of December 31, 2023, the audited net asset value of NCS’s 51% stake in Yondu was PHP 605 million (approximately SGD 14 million), and the audited net asset value of NCSI Philippines as of March 31, 2024, was PHP 206 million (approximately SGD 5 million).
