Entrepreneur Jay Yuvallos puts his best foot forward

MANILA, Philippines - In today’s competitive corporate marketplace, adding a stylish edge to one’s entire package is a must to create a strong impact. But for seasoned Cebuano entrepreneur Jay Yuvallos, a smart style, along with leadership and creative business acumen, makes one a finer gentleman.

A noted furniture manufacturer by profession, Yuvallos heads the Confederation of Philippine Exporters Foundation (Cebu), Inc. and acts as vice president of the Business Development and Management Services of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), a non-stock, non-profit organization that helps local Cebuano entrepreneurs strive for global competitiveness.

Through CCCI, budding industry players and students are provided the venue, training, and exposure to programs and contacts that can help boost their enterprise abilities amid various economic situations.

Given his toxic work schedule, Yuvallos knows how to keep pace his demanding responsibilities in style.

“Apart from expressing my individuality through fashion, being smartly presentable from head to toe allows me to carry myself confidently and productively,” he says.

Believing that putting your best foot forward comes with wearing something that you are confident and comfortable in, Yuvallos has put in place certain standards when choosing his luxury must-have items especially leather shoes.

“I’m crazy about quality leathers! Apart from being trendy, they provide versatile function and maximum comfort. When it comes to leather shoes, there’s only one brand I trust — Sledgers,” Yuvallos enthuses.

Sledgers, the iconic leather footwear and accessories brand, offers a wide array of refined men’’s shoes and accessories. Apart from its trademark outsole stitch finish, Sledgers shoes are designed with Asian-specific widths — measurement standards that make each pair custom-fitted to the particular foot sizes of Asian men.

Sledgers boutiques are located at SM Mall of Asia, TriNoma Mall, SM Northwing Cebu, and soon at SM Megamall. It is also available at Landmark TriNoma, Rustans Department Stores in ATC, Ermita, Cebu, Gateway, Makati; and in SM Department Stores in Makati, Mall of Asia, Megamall, Cebu, Marikina, and North Edsa.
