We’re over the moon to announce a proud and monumental milestone for Payruler—our powerhouse COO, Christhea Tim V. De Jesus, has been honored as the Technopreneur of the Year by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce, Incorporated (CCCI)!
The award was presented last November 21, 2024, at the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel, Cebu, during the prestigious Grand Chamber Awards (GCA), an annual event celebrating the heart and hustle of Cebuano entrepreneurs whose groundbreaking work drives innovation, progress, and inspiration.
For Timmy, the evening wasn’t just about receiving a trophy—it was about highlighting Payruler's game-changing journey and commitment to revolutionizing HR technology in the Philippines.
Simplifying HR, One Innovation at a Time
Let’s take a moment to appreciate what makes Payruler a trailblazer in the HR tech scene. Back in 2015, Timmy and a small team of dreamers set out with a big, bold vision: simplify HR processes so teams can spend less time on admin work and more time focusing on what truly matters—people.
Fast forward to today, and Payruler has become the go-to HR tech partner for over 100 companies across 18 industries, processing billions of pesos in salaries and supporting HR teams in running their operations seamlessly. From automating payroll to streamlining onboarding and performance tracking, Payruler is setting new standards in efficiency, accuracy, and innovation.
But here’s the best part: it’s not just about making HR easier—it’s about empowering teams to shine. Timmy’s leadership and vision have been pivotal in helping businesses move from surviving to thriving, proving that smart tech isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must.
So it is with great honor that last November 21 during the Grand Chamber Awards (GCA) 2024, with Cebu’s brightest minds in business gathered to celebrate innovation and excellence, Timmy was given the Technopreneur of the Year award for this year, by no less than the Cebu Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (CCCI), a venerable 121-year-old institution known for being Cebu’s “engine for business growth.”
When Timmy took the stage to accept her award, it was a defining moment—not just for her, but for the entire Payruler team. Her passion for empowering HR professionals, streamlining systems, and creating people-first technology took center stage, reflecting the values that have made Payruler a standout in the industry.
The Technopreneur of the Year award isn’t just a recognition of what’s been achieved—it’s a nod to what’s possible when bold ideas meet dedication and a touch of Cebuano grit in the world of tech and innovation.
So, what makes Payruler the MVP of HR tech? Let’s break it down:
- Automation that works for you. With features like automated payroll processing and mobile timekeeping, HR teams can say goodbye to tedious manual work and hello to better efficiency and compliance.
- Empowerment at your fingertips. Tools like the Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal give employees instant access to their pay slips, leave balances, and more. Empowered teams = happier teams!
- Seamless integration with your favorite business tools. Move data from one system to another when you use tools such as SAP or Acumatica, with peace of mind, keeping data integrity intact.
- Building a community of experts. Payruler’s Experts Community initiative is all about bringing HR professionals and thought leaders from different fields together to learn, share, and grow. It’s innovation meets collaboration—and we’re here for it.
And let’s not forget the Empower app, Payruler’s Employee Self-Service feature, which puts employees in control of their HR experience. It's tech that doesn’t just make work easier—it makes it smarter.
Winning the Technopreneur of the Year award is a huge milestone, but for Timmy, this is just the beginning.
Her vision is clear: to build an ecosystem where HR technology goes beyond metro areas, reaches new heights, and empowers businesses to adapt to the ever-changing market. She’s passionate about inspiring the next wave of tech innovators to create solutions rooted in integrity, value, and impact.
This is more than a recognition—it’s proof that homegrown talent and ideas can change industries and create a ripple effect of progress.
For the Payruler team, it’s a moment of pride and a push to keep innovating, growing, and delivering on the promise to make HR effortless and empowering. With Timmy at the helm, the future of HR tech looks brighter than ever.
As our team raises a toast to Timmy’s win, we want to thank everyone—our clients, partners, and the entire HR community—for being part of this incredible journey. Your support fuels our passion for building solutions that truly make a difference.
Here’s to more milestones, more breakthroughs, and more ways to empower people. The best is yet to come!
