2 The SPiCE Magazine • January 2019

EDITOR’S NOTE

As we usher in 2019, there is every reason for SPi Global to
celebrate its gains and successes during the past year. What
better way to do this than recount our milestones in 2018
through a year-end magazine. We therefore give you SPiCE,
the full-magazine format of our news bits, Dash of SPiCE.

This magazine showcases stories from our global sites and
Celeste Ilagan features highlights of programs and projects of various
departments and business units that contributed to where
Marketing & Corporate we are now.
Communications

SPiCE takes inspiration from our having been named to this year’s list of 25 Hottest AI companies in
the Asia Pacific. We hope that this accolade and our many other achievements in 2018 encourage
us to be more, this year and beyond. Hence our magazine theme, From Hot to Sizzling. We embrace
this recognition and also pay homage to the men and women of SPi Global to whom we attribute
our successes.

As we look back at each story, read each article or peer through each photo, let’s remember the fun
times we shared together, the lessons we learned from challenging situations and the moments of
inspiration to become better persons that will make an even better company.
