Global Director of Tech Delivery Aditya Perdana shares how collaboration, kindness and complex challenges have shaped his career at Hubexo.
Nine years ago, Filipa Antunes joined Hubexo as an intern. This summer, she stepped into her role as VP of People & Culture for APAC, based in Singapore.
Filipa has worked her way through the People & Culture function, taking on new challenges at every turn. Most recently, the 2025 reorganisation brought digital and change into her remit, expanding her scope in ways she hadn't anticipated. The mix of experience, curiosity, and willingness to stretch is what shaped the role she holds today.
For Filipa, Hubexo's value of dreaming big isn't just a poster on the wall. It's lived experience.
"There are no limits, no horizons. You're thrown challenges, you find your own challenges, and you expand your capabilities and your reach. You're able to deliver more, experience more, and the business returns that to you."
She's quick to add that dreaming big needs more than ambition. "Dreaming also needs a bit of a backbone so that you can fly. And I found that within this business."
Her advice to anyone looking to build their future at Hubexo is direct: don't wait to be asked.
"Push for it. Grab the opportunities. If there's a meeting you want to attend, ask. If there's a project you want to propose, propose it. If something isn't working, come with a solution. Don't be afraid to take risks, that's how we make progress."
The decision to base herself in Singapore was both practical and personal. As a hub for Southeast Asia, it gives Filipa the reach to work closely with local leaders and teams across the region. And, as she puts it: "Let's not be naive, it's a great city. An amazing place to be and to work. Everyone's invited to come and spend some time here."
Ask Filipa what drives her and the answer is immediate: energy.
"I love walking into a hub and feeling people connecting, people talking. It's palpable that people want to get things done. I don't like routine. I don't like days that feel the same. Keeping the energy levels up, that's what does it for me."
