Macau, China — 17 April 2026 — Guild Solutions, Inc. (GSI) proudly received its Gold Stevie® Award for Excellence in Innovation in Business Product & Service Industries (Organisations with up to 100 Employees) at the 2026 Stevie Awards ceremony held at the Venetian Hotel in Macau, China.

The award was accepted on behalf of GSI by Chief Executive Officer Gel Nolasco and Head of Finance Aileeh de Guzman, marking a significant milestone in the company’s transformation journey. The Gold Stevie® Award recognises organisations that demonstrate leadership in innovation, deliver measurable impact, and create meaningful business value.

A Night of Recognition

During the ceremony, CEO Gel Nolasco expressed his gratitude to the Stevie® Awards judges for recognising GSI’s journey and dedicated the honour to the people behind the organisation’s success. He shared that the award represents years of discipline, perseverance, and collective belief across the company.

Nolasco reflected on GSI’s evolution from a small cost‑centre function into a self‑sustaining, profit‑generating corporation—achieved through focused execution, strategic clarity, and shared commitment. He also emphasised the company’s expanding footprint across Australia and New Zealand, where GSI now delivers services that extend beyond traditional professional support models.

Addressing the Manila‑based team, Nolasco thanked them for their trust, resilience, and dedication, and shared his excitement about celebrating the achievement together upon his return.

This year’s Stevie® Awards also recognised globally renowned organisations such as Cisco, IBM, Samsung, DHL, and HP, highlighting GSI’s achievement among leading innovators across the Asia‑Pacific region.

The GSI Transformation Journey

GSI’s award‑winning submission highlighted a decisive shift in its operating model. The organisation successfully transformed a cost‑focused shared services function into a profit‑driven business unit by redesigning services, optimising processes, and accelerating digital transformation efforts.

This reinvention enabled GSI to broaden its service portfolio, strengthen operational performance, and establish a sustainable business model anchored in innovation and client impact. By embedding technology, rethinking workflows, and prioritising outcomes, GSI demonstrated how focused transformation can drive meaningful growth—even within smaller organisations.

Leadership and Team Excellence

The Gold Stevie® Award recognises not only strategic direction but also collective execution. GSI described the honour as a testament to its team’s vision, resilience, and commitment to continuous innovation—underscoring the company’s evolution into a true profit centre that delivers tangible value to partners and clients.

The recognition also reflects the leadership of CEO Gel Nolasco and Head of Finance Aileeh de Guzman, whose guidance steered the organisation through its transformation while maintaining strong financial discipline and long‑term sustainability. Above all, the award celebrates the collaborative efforts of GSI’s employees, whose dedication and drive made the achievement possible.

Looking Ahead

With the Gold Stevie® Award formally received at the Venetian Hotel in Macau, GSI continues to strengthen its position as a forward‑thinking organisation and a benchmark for transformation within the business services industry. The international recognition reinforces GSI’s ability to compete—and succeed—on the global stage while remaining agile and people‑centered.

As GSI looks ahead, the company remains focused on delivering innovative solutions that support its partners’ growth across the region and advance its mission of operational excellence and sustainable success. The 2026 Gold Stevie® Award stands not as an endpoint, but as a significant milestone in GSI’s ongoing journey of innovation, impact, and transformation.
