Ramon Ang is a Filipino businessman who leads San Miguel and Top Frontier Investment Holdings. At San Miguel, he is chairman and CEO. The group is one of the oldest conglomerates in the Philippines. It began as a brewer, then grew into a major food and beverage company. Today, much of its revenue comes from power and infrastructure. Ang became a key figure in the company after years of work around cars, manufacturing, and corporate leadership.

He started by fixing and selling used Japanese car and truck engines. Later, he worked with Eduardo Cojuangco selling aluminum wheels. In the 1980s, he led the magwheel company Commodore. He moved up at San Miguel over time, becoming vice-chairman in 1999 and president and COO in 2002. In 2012, he gained control after acquiring Cojuangco's shares.

How Ramon Ang built his business

Ang's money comes from a broad set of businesses tied to San Miguel and Top Frontier. San Miguel started in brewing, then expanded into food and beverages. The company is still a leader there, but its biggest revenue base now comes from power and infrastructure. That mix helps explain why Forbes places him in the Food & Beverage industry while also describing his wealth as diversified. He is also listed by Forbes as self-made.

In 2024, he became chairman and CEO, while John Paul Ang moved up to president and COO to help run the group.

Projects behind the scale of San Miguel
