Ann Zorrilla-Amamangpang
Group Head for Human Resources and Admin Services
“The real estate industry, traditionally male-dominated, has seen women rise to significant roles over the years, becoming construction heads, project development leaders, and company CEOs. Women are redefining the industry, breaking the glass ceiling, and setting new standards for innovation and leadership.
In community building, our approach extends beyond developing properties to fostering thriving, inclusive environments. We focus on community growth and well-being, empowering employees through CSR initiatives to deepen our company-community connection.
As an HR leader, I use my platform to cultivate the next generation of real estate professionals by providing exposure, mentorship, and opportunities. Our comprehensive development program nurtures talent at all organizational levels, strengthening our leadership pipeline and contributing to the industry’s long-term growth and innovation.”
Charmaine Bauzon
Commercial Business Group Head
“Being in commercial real estate requires taking on a collaborative approach with multiple stakeholders (from tenants to customers to everyone who ensure that our malls, offices and retails stores run effectively and efficiently). It is also about fostering strong and enduring relationships as we collectively find ways to keep raising the game, while at the same time being relevant to the communities we serve.
I use my role as a platform to uplift and empower others in the industry by sharing insights from three decades of triumphs and lessons, inspiring and challenging the team to continuously learn and adapt quickly.”
Guita Saenz-Resurreccion
Sales Group Head
“In my 30 years in the dynamic real estate industry, I’ve seen women at different stages of life and career, from young graduates handling stressful quota-driven jobs to mothers juggling work and childcare. These observations have shaped my leadership, emphasizing empathy and work-life balance, creating a supportive environment for women to overcome challenges.
Our team prioritizes continuous innovation in work policies, arrangements, and community building, fostering a culture of equality and flexibility that enables women to thrive and contribute to Federal Land’s success.
Women comprise about 52% of our workforce, underscoring our commitment to empowering women in the industry.
My leadership approach is heavily influenced by the strong women in my life—my mother, who taught me independence and resilience; my women bosses, who were role models and encouraged excellence; and my colleagues, who support each other through the unique workplace challenges women face. Inspired by them, I lead by example, ensuring every interaction is impactful.
I use my platform to advocate for an inclusive, respectful workplace culture, championing mentorship and leadership programs tailored for women at all career stages, aiming to create a safe, empowering environment for every woman.“
