Myrna M. See

President and CEO

Myrna M. See's four-decades-long service with A.W. Chesterton is one story of dedication, commitment, loyalty, and exclusivity.

She graduated from Mapua Institute of Technology with a degree of BS Management and Industrial Engineering. Immediately after graduation, she joined the company that distributed Chesterton sealing devices in the Philippines back then as a striving technical sales specialist. To learn the ropes of the business and to understand the technology of the product she markets, she underwent various seminars both in Asia and the United States, specializing in providing solutions to different types of corrosion, chemical attack, abrasion, and erosion.

During her time in that establishment, she was regularly recognized for her distinguished achievements — The Millionaire's Award, Top Producer, Outstanding Specialist, Outstanding District Manager, Most Number of Invoices, and Highest Increase Against Last Year to name a few. She attends various hands-on trainings and seminars in different countries, and even conducts her own lectures regarding corrosion. As one of the pioneer members of Philippine Society of Corrosion Engineers in the Philippines, she has been invited as a speaker in the University of the Philippines and in other prestigious schools. Currently, she is a Safety Officer of BOSH/COSH and PCAB-AMO.

With diligence and hard work, she gradually climbed up the corporate ladder, being promoted several times up until she became Vice President of the company.

Soon after, the company's distributorship status was cancelled. Noticing Myrna being one of that company's trusted and loyal employees, Mr. Jim Chesterton then decided to hand over the distributorship of two Chesterton divisions to her. In 1997, Myrna then presided ADTECH Phils. Corp. and Advance Surface Protection Specialist, Inc. as the exclusive distributors of Chesterton Sealing Devices and Advanced Reinforced Composites in the Philippines respectively. Today, ADTECH & ASPS employ more than 50 staff and specialists. She has proven that a woman could also excel in a field mostly participated by men.

Aside from being a successful professional, Myrna is also a happy, contented mother of three. Her eldest son runs his own photography studio and is concurrently the corporate secretary of both ADTECH and ASPS. The second son, who owns a booming real estate business and provides repair services for bike enthusiasts, and the youngest child, who is a successful doctor, are managing directors of the two companies.

Myrna truly considers her family as her gem. But considering she has spent more than half of her life with Chesterton, she sees Chesterton not just a career but a passion. A second family.
