producer, and entrepreneur Charlize Theron. As the celebrity headline speaker,
Ms. Theron will speak about her personal experiences in different facets of
life, including relevant issues in the business industry such as women’s

This October, PLDT—through its B2B arm PLDT Enterprise—will hold

change and explore possibilities to stay ahead in the dynamic business

In its seventh iteration, the annual convention will feature Ms.
Theron, her thoughts on empowering women entrepreneurs and executives in
male-dominated industries, and fostering gender equality and economic
empowerment, among others.
The award-winning actress founded Denver and Delilah Productions
in 2003, a film/tv production company that co-produced films including The
Addams Family, Atomic Blonde, and Monster; and hit Netflix crime drama
Mindhunter and reality television series Hyperdrive.
Likewise, she is known as one of the most celebrated actresses of
her generation, captivating audiences with her portrayal of a range of
characters. She has been recognized by various award-giving bodies, receiving
several awards and nominations for her exemplary performances.
Theron received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors
Guild Award, a Critics Choice Award, and an Independent Spirit Award for her
role as real-life serial killer Eileen Wuornos in the critically acclaimed
movie Monster.
Moreover, she portrayed Megyn Kelly in Lionsgate’s Bombshell, for
which she received nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA
Film Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Critics Choice Award, among
others, for her remarkable performance.
The actress-producer also appeared in numerous films including
North Country, The Devil’s Advocate, The Cider House Rules, Hancock, The Life
and Death of Peter Sellers, Snow White and the Huntsman, and A Million Ways to
Die in the West.
In 2020, Theron was seen in the Netflix adaptation of the comic
book series The Old Guard, by Greg Rucka and illustrator Leandro Fernández,
which was also produced by Denver and Delilah Productions.
Most recently, the actress reprised her role as “Cipher” in the
9th installment of the Fast and Furious franchise that hit theaters this year.
In addition to Theron’s acting success and principal involvement
with her production company, she also serves as a United Nations Messenger of
Peace and founder of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).
CTAOP’s mission is “to invest in African youth and their ability
to keep themselves and their peers safe from HIV/AIDS” through its support of
community-based, African organizations that “use community-specific programming
to effectively engage young people and provide critical tools that support
adolescents and address their unique challenges.”
In 2020, Theron and CTAOP launched ‘Together for Her,’ a campaign
to help fight gender-based violence during COVID-19, together with CARE and
Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).
The Philippine Digital Convention: REVOLUTION is set to be a
