With over 45 years of industry experience, Mr. Delos Reyes's journey is a testament to dedication and perseverance.

His rise to the top exemplifies his adaptability and steadfast commitment to the company's growth.

Under Mr. Delos Reyes's leadership, Stronghold Insurance is on a trajectory to become the Philippines' leading non-life insurance provider by 2030.

Stronghold Insurance's robust growth is reflected in its milestones, such as securing the Reinsurance of the Property and Engineering Combined Risk and Catastrophe Excess of Loss Treaty for the Government Service Insurance System, valued at PHP 13 billion—the company's largest single premium transaction. Its expansive network now includes over 150 offices nationwide and major multi-story facilities in Visayas and Mindanao, further enhancing customer access to insurance services.

Mr. Delos Reyes's leadership philosophy prioritises client satisfaction and employee well-being. "Clients' satisfaction is our ultimate strategy," he emphasises. This client-centric approach, combined with a supportive organisational culture, has resulted in an exceptional employee retention rate of 92%, underscoring the company's commitment to talent development and empowerment.

Beyond business success, Stronghold Insurance demonstrates a strong commitment to societal impact. Its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts include medical missions for underserved communities, disaster relief initiatives, and the establishment of the DAVID C. MERCADO Foundation, which extends charitable support across various causes.

The ACES Awards, organised by MORS Group, celebrate exemplary leadership and sustainability in Asia.
