Led by Founders. Governed by Structure. Built for Institutional Scale.
GDV Holdings Inc. is led by its founding executives and governed through a structured board architecture designed to enforce accountability, protect capital, and guide the Group's long-term strategic direction across its diversified portfolio of operating companies.
Why Structure and Founder Oversight Matter
Leadership at GDV Holdings goes beyond vision — it demands governance discipline, responsible capital allocation, and credibility with global investors, clients, and regulators. The Group is founder-led by design, with founders serving as CEO and CFO, ensuring strategic direction and accountability remain unified at the highest level.
This structure keeps capital discipline and governance integrity in the hands of those most invested in long-term success. The board is built for institutional growth, with a committee framework, independent director roles, and oversight mechanisms designed to scale alongside the Group's expanding global presence.
The Founding Team
GDV Holdings is led by its two founding executives, each holding direct accountability for the Group's strategic direction and financial integrity.
Gerald Silva Valeros
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Gerald Silva Valeros is the Founder and CEO of GDV Holdings Inc., overseeing investment and operating strategy across the Group's diversified portfolio spanning global services, staffing, financial services, compliance, and technology. He leads strategic direction, capital allocation, portfolio oversight, and key institutional relationships.
His leadership is grounded in disciplined governance, a compliance-first culture, and long-term value creation. As Founder, Gerald's commitment is measured not in quarters, but in building durable, well-governed, internationally competitive companies from the Philippines for global markets.
Daisy Jane Valeros
Chief Financial Officer
Daisy Jane Valeros is the Chief Financial Officer of GDV Holdings Inc., responsible for capital structuring, compliance, and financial governance across the Group's portfolio companies. Her remit covers financial integrity, capital allocation, treasury management, and the governance frameworks applied to all subsidiaries.
Her oversight ensures each subsidiary adheres to the holding company's capital discipline standards, keeping the Group's financial position aligned with its long-term value creation mandate. As both a founding executive and chief financial steward, Daisy embodies GDV Holdings' commitment to direct founder accountability at the highest levels of financial governance.
Governance at the Highest Level
GDV Holdings' Board of Directors provides the highest level of governance oversight for the Group and its portfolio companies. The board is structured to combine founder-led strategic accountability with independent oversight — ensuring that the Group's governance framework is subject to multiple layers of review and challenge.
Executive Directors
The board's executive directors are GDV Holdings' two founding executives: Gerald Silva Valeros, serving in his capacity as Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Daisy Jane Valeros, serving in her capacity as Chief Financial Officer. Their presence on the board ensures direct executive accountability at the governance level and alignment between day-to-day operational leadership and board-level strategic direction.
Independent Directors — Future Institutional Expansion
GDV Holdings' board architecture is designed to accommodate the addition of independent directors as the Group's institutional development progresses. Three independent director roles have been defined within the governance framework.
Compliance and Regulatory Advisor
The Compliance and Regulatory Advisor role is designed to bring dedicated regulatory expertise to the board — providing independent oversight of the Group's compliance posture across its multiple operating sectors and jurisdictions, including labor, fintech, financial services, and data protection regulatory environments.
Audit and Risk Committee Chair
The Audit and Risk Committee Chair role is designed to provide independent leadership of the Group's audit and risk oversight function — bringing external accountability to the financial integrity, operational risk management, and internal control standards applied across the GDV portfolio.
Technology and Risk Oversight Director
The Technology and Risk Oversight Director role is designed to provide board-level expertise in technology governance, cybersecurity, AI system oversight, and digital operational risk — reflecting GDV Holdings' recognition that technology risk is an increasingly material governance consideration for a group operating digital service platforms across multiple international jurisdictions.
The definition of these independent director roles at this stage of GDV Holdings' development reflects deliberate institutional planning — building the governance architecture for the Group's next phase of growth before that growth requires it.
Structured Oversight Across All Governance Dimensions
GDV Holdings' board governance is organized through four dedicated committees, each responsible for a specific dimension of the Group's governance framework. This committee structure ensures that no governance responsibility is managed informally or on an ad hoc basis — every critical function has a dedicated oversight body with defined responsibilities.
Audit and Risk Committee
The Audit and Risk Committee provides board-level oversight of GDV Holdings’ financial integrity, internal controls, audit protocols, and risk management framework. It monitors the Group’s risk exposure across operational, regulatory, financial, and reputational dimensions — and oversees the structured audit processes applied across all portfolio companies to verify compliance and financial accuracy.
Governance and Compliance Committee
The Governance and Compliance Committee is responsible for oversight of GDV Holdings’ corporate governance standards and regulatory compliance framework. It ensures that the Group’s governance policies are current, enforced, and aligned with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates — including the Philippines, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Indonesia. It also oversees ethical standards enforcement across all portfolio companies.
Compensation and Remuneration Committee
The Compensation and Remuneration Committee oversees executive compensation, remuneration structures, and incentive frameworks across the GDV Group. It ensures that compensation policies are aligned with the Group’s long-term value creation mandate and that remuneration structures incentivize the governance discipline and operational performance that GDV Holdings is built on.
Strategy and Investment Committee
The Strategy and Investment Committee provides board-level oversight of GDV Holdings’ capital allocation decisions, strategic growth initiatives, and portfolio expansion strategy. It evaluates significant investment decisions — including geographic expansion, strategic acquisitions, technology investment, and new venture development — against the Group’s governance framework and long-term value creation criteria before approval.
The Standard Institutional Partners Expect
For institutional investors, private equity firms, family offices, and strategic partners, leadership quality and board governance are key indicators of risk and confidence.
GDV Holdings combines direct founder accountability — with both senior executives serving on the board and holding long-term personal stakes — with a board structure built for independent oversight and institutional expansion. Qualified investors may request access to detailed governance documentation, including board policies, committee charters, and organizational structure, through the Group's confidential data room.
