Mench Dizon, Country Head of YGG Pilipinas, Philippines

What does it take to run seven marathons on seven continents in just seven days — and then return home to lead a movement transforming the future of work in the Philippines? In this episode of Womenpreneur Asia, I talk to Mench Dizon, marathoner, changemaker, and Country Head of YGG Pilipinas. Mench shares her incredible journey of completing the World Marathon Challenge, a test of endurance, resilience, and grit that pushed her to her limits both physically and mentally. She reflects on what it taught her about facing life’s literal and metaphorical climates, from minus 25-degree chills to the tropical heat, and how those lessons carry into her professional life. As the leader of YGG Pilipinas, Mench is committed to empowering Filipino talent by creating opportunities in gaming and technology, building communities, and helping Filipinos thrive in the digital economy. In this episode, you’ll hear about: The mindset that helped Mench conquer the World Marathon ChallengeWhy she believes “how you do one thing is how you do everything”How she’s building opportunities for Filipinos through YGG Pilipinas and MetaversityThe importance of leaning into discomfort and seizing opportunities before you feel ready Mench’s story is a powerful reminder that the limits we set are often the ones we choose to accept — and that growth comes from daring to push beyond them.
