That duality is his foundation. Rosana’s identity is a vibrant tapestry woven from distinct cultural threads: the warm, communal traditions of his Filipino heritage and the majestic, opulent wisdom of his Emirati upbringing in Abu Dhabi. His earliest memories are sensory time capsules. One moment, he is a young boy dressed in a crisp white kandora for Eid al-Adha, the air thick with the scent of spiced saffron biryani and grilled lamb during visits to a family friend’s palace. “The joy was palpable,” he recalls. “It taught me that the essence of life lies in giving and sharing love.” The next, he is transported to the Philippines for the Flores de Mayo festival, walking in a procession as an official consort to the Reyna Elena amidst a cascade of flowers…

Behind every accomplished leader is a personal story that carved their vision of success. For Ramesh Chitor, those foundations were built early in life, guided by family, discipline, and a love of learning. Ramesh was born and raised in India. As a child, he looked up to his grandfather, who had served in the British Armed Forces during World War II, and dreamed of becoming an Air Force pilot. “I was named after my grandfather. Hoping to follow in his footsteps, I was enamored with flying and even took flying courses, but I didn’t pursue those plans,” he shares. Known to be a whiz with numbers, Ramesh excelled in academics and was naturally drawn to technology. “Growing up in India, we had the following choices for college degrees: Math, Computer…

“RESQCATS IS WHAT I DO WITH WHO I AM.” BACKGROUND & INSPIRATION Reflecting on her motivations, Telson expresses that it was less about people and more about the intrinsic connection she felt with the animals. “What I didn’t realize at the time was all that would be involved with people…and I mean that as a positive,” she admits. The personal relationships that emerged from her work included volunteers and adopters who contributed to the mission of RESQCATS. These connections have revealed a side of rescue work that encompasses not only saving lives but also healing and personal growth for both humans and animals alike. Telson noted, “The cats have helped heal many of the adopters physically and emotionally…and they have done that for me, too.” EARLY EXPERIENCES AND TRANSITION Her…

One of them is Kylie Chang. She grips the hand of Miss Sunset USA, a fellow Asian American contender, and in that touch passes a silent, seismic understanding: whatever happens next, the narrative has already shifted. The old guard has fallen. Then, the name. Not a name from the established playbook of what a beauty queen should sound like, but her name. “Kylie Chang.” The sound is a punctuation mark, a period at the end of a 74-year-long sentence. The first East Asian woman to ever win the title. The crowd erupts. And Kylie, the picture of composure just a second before, dissolves into happy, disbelieving tears. The baby giraffe, as her dance coach once affectionately called her for her tall, lanky, uncoordinated grace, had not only found her footing…

THE FOUNDATION: AN INHERITANCE OF SACRIFICE AND DREAMS Esthefania’s story begins not on a pageant stage but in the modest, love-filled home of her Mexican immigrant parents in a small California city. The air there was thick with dreams—dreams deferred by her parents so that hers could take flight. “Our home was small, but it was immense in values,” she reflects, her voice warm with conviction. “The most valuable currency wasn’t money; it was the belief that education was the master key that could unlock any door.” She witnessed firsthand the economic challenges her family faced, the relentless rhythm of paychecks that barely stretched to cover necessities. Yet, instead of fostering scarcity, her parents cultivated a landscape of abundance in spirit. Their stories of perseverance—of crossing borders, both physical and…

“RECOGNIZE THAT GOD IS ABOVE ALL AND BE A BRAVE ADVENTURER.” In a Zurich café, the 43-year-old Swiss private banker is the picture of relaxed, European elegance. He’s wearing a perfectly tailored blazer, his manner is warm and engaging, but his gaze is analytical, missing nothing. On his wrist is the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712, which he wears very well and really complements his linen blazer. Wuethrich is a man of fascinating juxtapositions. He’s a precise banker with the soul of a globetrotter (60 countries and counting). An engineer by training who speaks the emotional language of heirlooms. A project manager who helped build one of Switzerland’s most exclusive watch clubs, Turicum Watch Group, then founded a global, inclusive community called WIS United. He’s a member of the prestigious GPHG…
