Mr. Dennis Anthony H. Uy - Chairman
CEO and Co-founder
Converge ICT Solutions Inc.
Dennis Anthony Uy is currently the CEO of Converge ICT Solutions Inc and leads several other companies in the country as well as board membership in technology companies abroad.
A self-made industrialist, Mr. Uy started doing business in his teens with a Betamax and VHS rental shop that eventually evolved into cable television which he founded right after Mt. Pinatubo eruption in his hometown Pampanga.
With an eye for the future and a mind for innovation, Mr. Uy implemented the first ever data-over-cable service in the Central Luzon region with ComClark Network and Technology Corporation. The company gradually expanded its customer base, its suite of services, and its expertise in ICT.
Going from strength to strength, Mr. Uy, together with his wife Grace, founded fiber internet and technology solutions provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. in 2007 and eventually listed the company in the Philippine Stock Exchange in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) at that time.
Mr. Uy's dream for digital transformation may have begun in Central Luzon, but it took off in Metro Manila. In 2013, Converge launched the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) fixed broadband services and entered Metro Manila, the nation's capital. From there, he focused his efforts on building up the fiber network of Converge, while competitors were battling it out in other technology spaces such as wireless broadband or DSL.
A game-changer and a futurist in his field, Mr. Uy has been racking up recognition for single-handedly changing the fiber internet landscape in the Philippines. In 2024, the country's largest business organization, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, recognized Dennis as a driving force in ICT, and awarded him the 'Nation- Builder' Award.
In 2020, he garnered the Master Entrepreneur Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA), and the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the 11th Asia CEO Awards (ACA). In 2021, Mr. Uy was again awarded the Master Entrepreneur at the 2021 APEA Regional Edition. The Converge CEO was also named among PeopleAsia Magazine's "Men Who Matter" in June 2021, recognizing future-ready entrepreneurs, leaders, and artists.
The year after, no less than the prestigious EY-administered Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines (EOYP) Awards crowned Dennis as the Entrepreneur of the Year and Master Entrepreneur, further solidifying his reputation as an astute businessman, leading Converge into dominance of the telco industry.
