American software executive Todd Grannis visited Cagayan de Oro two years ago for a vacation with his wife Malissa, but never expected he´d one day be considering making it a base for his international operations.
Grannis is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Visp.net, based in Oregon, USA called which designs and markets software aimed at making Internet Service Providers (ISPs) better.
"I came here on the word of my friend Glenn Lewman, but after few days saw the potential for the future growth of our company," Grannis said. Lewman is one of the founding fathers of the city´s famous whitewater rafting industry and is the maker of the famous Sotar (for State-Of-The-Art Raft).
"People we met here were so warm, friendly and kind," Grannis recalls. "It was an emotionally rich experience for me."
Although Cagayan de Oro is one of the Philippines biggest cities, Grannis noted its cost of labor is relatively lower compared to Manila and Cebu, leaving workers with larger discretionary incomes. He also notes it is relatively safer than many other urban centers in the country.
Like Lewman before him, Grannis "did the math" and noted how the highly skilled yet affordable manpower in the information and communications industry (ICT) of Cagayan de Oro would build on his company´s strategic advantages and give them a leg up on their competitors.
