Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) and Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) service provider with more than 18,000
employees in 30 facilities in North America, Europe, Australia,

Maulik joined SPi Global in late 2009 after several years of a
flourishing career with other BPO companies and BPO client
companies. Just two years into the job heading SPi Global,
already the world’s largest Filipino-owned BPO company, Maulik
has successfully integrated PLDT’s BPO businesses under one
umbrella, assembled a strong leadership team that operates three
distinct business units with one corporate support group,
jumpstarted the growth of the combined entity, and set a bold
target of growing the company to double its size in the next
three years.

was also recognized as the Philippines’ 2011 Expatriate

award recognizes non-Filipino citizens who have led their
organizations in achieving measurable success and in making a
strong contribution to the economic development of the
Philippines.
Prior to joining SPi Global, Maulik was Executive Vice President
of Asia Operations for TeleTech Holdings, where he orchestrated
an ambitious growth strategy that grew the company's Asian
presence from 6,000 employees to over 22,000 employees across 14
sites.
Before his stint at TeleTech, Maulik was with Dish Network, a

more than 4,000 employees.
