Our Story
Built for Filipino brands ready to grow globally
We started Anima Forte Global with a simple conviction: Filipino-made products — from botanical skincare to functional wellness supplements to fitness equipment — are world-class. What they often lack is not quality, but a trusted bridge to international markets.
Our role is to be that bridge. We handle the complexity so our brand partners don't have to: distribution channels, import and export compliance, logistics coordination, and buyer relationships across the US, UK, and UAE.
We measure our success by our partners' growth. When a Filipino manufacturer signs their first US wholesale account, or when a Filipina in London finds a brand she grew up with on a salon shelf — that's what we're building toward.
We're at an early stage, and we're intentional about that. We'd rather grow alongside a small number of truly aligned brand partners than scale without integrity. If your brand is ready to explore international distribution, we'd love to start a conversation.
Jessa brings a business degree and direct international work experience across Asian markets to everything Anima Forte Global does. Her cultural fluency — grounded in lived experience, not assumption — shapes how we build relationships with Filipino manufacturers and how we serve diaspora communities abroad.
Her approach is straightforward: serve the partner and buyer first, and the business follows. She built Anima Forte Global not to be a middleman, but to be a long-term growth partner — someone who understands both where Filipino brands come from and where they can go.
"The goal is never just a transaction. It's making sure every brand in our network has a real future in the markets we open for them."
