Antonio “Noni” DC. Mauricio

Noni Mauricio has long stood at the nexus of finance, innovation, and public service — where policy meets possibility. Once a banker and strategist, he rose to national prominence as Undersecretary of DTI and General Manager of the National Development Company, where he pioneered the Philippine Startup Venture Fund and launched the Philippine Innovation Hub. A trailblazer with over three decades of experience, Noni now chairs InnovationPH and InnovationASIA, bridging local ingenuity with global ecosystems. Whether guiding AI policy as co-founder of the Global AI Council PH, battling misinformation as Chairman of the Digital Media Standards Coalition, or mentoring the next generation through the Finance Educators Association, he leads with a visionary’s mind and a reformer’s heart. A UP graduate, Ateneo alum, and Singapore Management University digital fellow, Noni crafts legacies of impact. In every role, he champions one truth: innovation is not a buzzword — it’s a nation’s lifeblood.
