EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS) marks a significant milestone as it celebrates its 10th anniversary in the Philippines. Over the past decade, EY GDS has evolved into a technology powerhouse, an innovation hub, and a global talent center—driving transformation across the professional services and IT-BPM sectors.
A decade of growth and ambition
As EY GDS Philippines commemorates this milestone, it also sets its sights on the future, with bold ambitions to expand its workforce to 10,000 professionals across Manila and Cebu over the next five years. This growth reflects EY GDS’s commitment to shaping the future of work through technology, innovation and purpose-driven leadership.
“More than a celebration of our past, this anniversary is a launchpad for our future,” said Dench Decino, EY GDS Philippines location leader. “We are proud of how far we’ve come and we’re even more excited about where we’re headed as we continue to grow our presence and shape our impact in the country.”
AI at the core of transformation
EY GDS Philippines is leading the charge in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, with nearly all of its professionals AI-trained and over a thousand AI experts driving innovation across domains. The organization’s transformative EY.ai Agentic Platform enables domain-tuned copilots and task-specific agents in areas such as Tax, Risk, and Finance, enhancing precision, speed, and insight. EY GDS’s approach to AI emphasizes responsible and ethical deployment, transparency and governance, ensuring that every solution is built with trust from the ground up. This deliberate and context-aware deployment prioritizes proven outcomes and scalable impact.
“AI is fundamentally reshaping how we deliver value to clients,” said Mon Go, EY GDS Philippines consulting leader. “It’s not just about automation, but it’s also about augmenting human potential. Our Human + Digital + AI model is already transforming how we work and we’re just getting started.”
Innovation that powers new services
Innovation is at the heart of EY GDS’s evolution. Its innovation-first mindset has led to the development of new services tailored to the changing needs of clients. Flagship initiatives such as the Distinguished Technologist Program, AI Academy, and Innovate Hackathon are cultivating a new generation of tech-enabled leaders. These programs have resulted in widespread AI literacy across the organization, with tens of thousands of professionals completing foundational training and earning AI credentials. Early-career professionals are also being equipped with skills in VBA, Power BI, and GenAI through initiatives like Digiversity and Future Skills, ensuring diversity and readiness for the future.
Championing talent development and sustainability
EY GDS Philippines plays a vital role in EY’s global talent network. It prioritizes leadership development and workforce transformation, preparing professionals for emerging roles in AI governance, automation design, and data ethics. The organization is reshaping traditional roles, augmenting productivity, and enabling new career paths that align with the demands of a digital-first world.
“Our people are our greatest strength,” said Karthik Bhaskaran, EY GDS Philippines assurance leader. “We are investing in their growth, equipping them with future-ready skills and enabling them to lead in a world where technology and trust go hand in hand.”
In addition to upskilling its professionals, EY GDS Philippines is also leading its people towards environmental and social responsibility. The organization is committed to sustainability through initiatives such as transitioning to energy-saving sources, adopting the usage of electric vehicles and launching a skyfarm project in collaboration with Farmtop. These efforts reflect EY GDS’s dedication to creating a legacy of environmental stewardship and community impact.
Looking ahead: shaping the future with confidence
Looking ahead, EY GDS’s growth will be guided by a clear set of strategic priorities. These include embedding AI and technology-led reinvention into every aspect of client service, integrating talent and capabilities across borders to amplify global impact, building the next generation of leaders who can thrive in a borderless environment, and anchoring all efforts in EY’s purpose to ensure that innovation translates into value for clients, opportunities for people, and positive societal impact.
