Retail is evolving at a breakneck pace, driven by bold thinkers who are not only building the next big thing, but also backing those who dare to dream differently. At the forefront of this transformation is Paulo Campos, a trailblazer in e-commerce and venture capital, and one of the featured speakers at the 31st National Retail Conference and Expo (NRCE) happening on July 31–August 1, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center Manila.
As founding managing general partner of Kaya Founders, Paulo is shaping a new generation of high-growth startups across the Philippines and Southeast Asia. With over ₱1 billion in assets under management and more than 45 portfolio companies spanning fintech, healthcare, logistics, B2B SaaS, and e-commerce, Kaya Founders is fueling innovation where it matters most.
At NRCE 2025, Paulo will present “How Kaya Founders Nurtures Tomorrow’s Game-Changers”—an insider look at how early-stage investment, bold leadership, and entrepreneurial thinking are redefining the future of business. From identifying high-potential founders to guiding startups toward sustainable scale, Paulo’s session promises valuable insights for leaders navigating today’s fast-shifting retail terrain.
Before venturing into capital, Paulo helped lead one of the country’s most successful e-commerce platforms as Co-Founder and former CEO of ZALORA Philippines. Today, his impact extends across sectors, serving on the boards of ZALORA Philippines, Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures Inc., and Generation HOPE—all while championing inclusive, purpose-driven growth.
Whether you’re a retail executive exploring new models, a corporate leader seeking innovation, or a founder ready to scale, Paulo’s journey is a blueprint for staying ahead and building businesses that matter.
