Sta. Lucia Land CEO honored with Global CEO Excellence Award

ta. Lucia Land Inc., (SLI) one of the Philippines’ most trusted and established property developers, proudly announces that its President and CEO, Mr. Exequiel Robles, has been recognized with the Global CEO Excellence Award by UK-based publication CEO Monthly.
This prestigious award celebrates global leaders whose vision, innovation, and adaptability drive sustainable growth and transformation in their industries. Mr. Robles now joins a select roster of international executives recognized for outstanding leadership, making him one of the few Filipino CEOs to earn this global distinction.
For over five decades, Mr. Robles has been at the helm of the Sta. Lucia Group of which SLI is part of, guiding it to become a powerhouse in Philippine real estate. Under his leadership, Sta. Lucia has successfully developed over 300 projects across more than 12,000 hectares nationwide, ranging from residential communities and commercial hubs to golf courses, leisure estates, and lake developments. This extensive portfolio reflects the company’s mission to create sustainable, high-value properties that cater to Filipino families, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), and investors seeking long-term growth.

This recognition follows Sta. Lucia’s impressive track record in last year’s CEO Monthly C-Suite Awards, where Mr. Robles was named Best Real Estate CEO of the Year (Philippines), Chairman Mr. Vicente Santos was honored as Best Real Estate Chairman of the Year, and CFO Mr. David Dela Cruz was awarded Best Real Estate CFO of the Year. Together, the leadership team continues to steer the company toward expansion, innovation, and shareholder value creation.
Launched in 2017, CEO Monthly dedicates its platform to feature CEOs and business leaders from across several countries. Aside from the Global Excellence Awards and C-Suite Awards, CEO Monthly also has other awards programs being held including the Global COO Awards, Female CEO of the Year and Leadership Innovation Awards.

The award also comes at a time of strong momentum for Sta. Lucia. In 2024, the company reported a 13.6% growth in net income, reaffirming its resilience and commitment to delivering returns to both property buyers and stockholders. Looking ahead to 2025, Sta. Lucia is set to expand in key growth areas, including Polomolok (South Cotabato), Orion (Bataan), and the world-famous Siargao Islands. The highly anticipated Sta. Lucia Mall Davao is also scheduled for launch, further strengthening the company’s footprint in Mindanao.
With this latest recognition, Sta. Lucia Land cements its reputation as a developer of choice for discerning buyers, OFWs, and investors who seek properties backed by strong leadership, consistent growth, and a legacy of trust.
