MANILA, Philippines, July 13, 2026 — Human Managed, an AI-native operational intelligence company headquartered in Singapore, has been inducted as an institutional member of the Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Association of the Philippines (AAP), the country's national industry board for analytics and artificial intelligence.
The induction places Human Managed within a membership body of more than 150 institutional members and 2,000 individual practitioners, educators, and students working to advance the country's data and AI capabilities.
The AAP is the Philippines' National Industry TVET Board and Sector Skills Council for Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. It works in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to match skills development with industry demand, with the national goal of making the Philippines a globally competitive source of analytics and AI talent.
For Human Managed, whose Philippine operations have been central to its Asia-Pacific growth since 2018, the induction formalises a long-standing commitment to the market.
Human Managed's platform processes billions of security, risk, and operational events daily across enterprise environments in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Its work spans cybersecurity, risk intelligence, and digital operations, areas where the Philippines is building out its workforce and technical capacity. AAP membership gives the company access to the association's research collaborations, events including the upcoming AICON Manila 2026 conference, and the government partnerships AAP has developed to support national AI strategy.
The AAP works across innovation and research, education and training, and industry collaboration. Human Managed has invested in developing local analytical talent since its founding, and joining the national body puts that work on record.
"For a long time we focused primarily on delivering to our clients, and participating in external associations was never the priority. That has been changing. Over the past months more of our team has been out in client engagements and industry events. Of the organisations we explored, AAP aligns closest to what we do at the core, data and AI. Joining fits that shift, and it's something I had been hoping we would do since last year," said David Medallo, President, Human Managed Philippines.
